Summary
A botanical survey of some bush-covered islands near Coromandel, New Zealand, has been made, including quantitative studies in mature coastal forest. Large trees of some uncommon species have been recorded - Heimerliodendron brunonianum, Planchonella novo-zelandica, and Paratrophis banksii - with prolific regeneration of the first two. Brief vegetation descriptions and initial species lists for six islands have been included.
