Abstract: New discoveries of the extremely rare, native kakabeak plant (Clianthus) have excited botanists and local DOC workers in the Hawke’s Bay. The discovery of two previously unrecorded plants in Willowflat Forest has been described by local conservation groups as an extremely significant one, with numbers of the endangered Clianthus maximus occurring in the wild as low as 120 known plants.
