Hi Dave, Lesley
Nice to see photos of plants that I have not seen before especially the Wahlenbergia cartilaginea.
I spent a little time in the Otago Botany Dept herbarium today looking at specimens of Haastia sinclairii, Haastia sinclairii var fulvida and Haastia recurva. I came to the conclusion the plants we saw on Mt Hutt were Haastia recurva, the recurved nature of the leaves being more evident on dried rather than fresh specimens. I found the descriptions in the Flora totally confusing. The pictures I posted earlier in this thread should therefore be labelled be Haastia recurva. Your Haastiia recurva looks a bit like Haastia sinclairii to me - I am basing my ID mainly on the prominent veins on the back of the leaves. As for var fulvida there is a diverse assemblage of plants in the folders but I would not be confident in identifying it in the field.
With the Lignocarpa you have a choice of two and I am not going to disagree with identification.
I will post a picture of Notothalaspi rosulatum in flower to show what a truly odd plant it is.
