New Zealand Species List - MONOCOTS
One last batch of plants from my New Zealand observations, then onto the stuff more inclined to run away when I loomed over it with the cameraphone out. Obviously includes introduced ornamentals that caught my eye, and a few from the botanical gardens in Christchurch - although finding a Titan Arum in bloom in the wild would blow my tiny mind.
