Description

Carmichaelia corrugata is a low growing (2-8 cm tall) leafless shrub consisting of yellow-green branches with blunt orange tips, forming a dense mat about 1 m wide. The branches are 1.5-3.5mm wide and grooved. The flowers are in pairs and are pink with a dark purple centre, and flowering occurs from October to May, with fruiting from November to June. [4]

Habitat

It is found on gravel and sand soils, stone and gravel ridges, river terraces, river beds, and disturbed sites. [4]

Taxonomy & naming

The species was first described by Colenso in 1883. The specific epithet, corrugata, is a Latin adjective meaning "wrinkled". [4] There are no synonyms. [4] [2]

Conservation status

In both 2004 and 2008, it was assessed as "Not Threatened". In 2012, it was found to be "At Risk - Declining", [4] and by 2018 it was declared "Threatened - Nationally Vulnerable" under the New Zealand Threat Classification System. [1] [4]

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.
