Carmichaelia astonii (common name Aston's dwarf broom) [4] is a species of pea in the family Fabaceae. It is found only in South Island of New Zealand. [2] Its conservation status (2018) is "Nationally vulnerable" under the New Zealand Threat Classification System. [1]
The species was first described by George Simpson in 1945, who gave it the specific epithet, astonii, to honour Bernard Aston. [3] A lectotype, AK 70629 collected by Simpson in February 1937 on the Ure River, in the Marlborough Region, is held in the Auckland Museum. [5]
Carmichaelia is a genus of 24 plant species belonging to Fabaceae, the legume family. All but one species are native to New Zealand; the exception, Carmichaelia exsul, is native to Lord Howe Island and presumably dispersed there from New Zealand.
Carmichaelia carmichaeliae is a species of plant in the family Fabaceae. It is found only in South Island of New Zealand. It is classified as having the "Nationally Critical" conservation status under the New Zealand Threat Classification System.

Aceria clianthi is a species of mite belonging to the family Eriophyidae. It is found only in New Zealand. It is notable for being host specific to threatened plants of the genus Clianthus. It is classified by Buckley et al. as "nationally critical" under the New Zealand Threat Classification System. They stated "Aceria clianthi (Eriophyidae), has been recorded only from kakabeak in cultivation and once on Lotus cornalatus [Lotus corniculatus] (Fabaceae), an introduced plant growing near kakabeak. It is given the same threat classification as kakabeak ." Heenan had earlier stated that "the two species [of Clianthus] are considered to be threatened, with C. maximus having a rank of vulnerable, whereas C. puniceus is critically endangered", but the conservation status of C. maximus was subsequently found to be more serious. These threat classifications for Clianthus apply to plants in the wild, but the species are widely cultivated. Aceria clianthi occurs on both plants in the wild and in cultivation.

He, too, became a builder and valuer, working as Crown Valuer from about 1943 until early 1950. However, he, together with John Scott Simpson, became interested in collecting and growing New Zealand native plants and by 1925 both were well known within the New Zealand botanical community.
