Tuatara: Volume 32, April 1993
Fig. 8. In older vegetation close to the locality of Fig. 6, Berberis darwinii filling the foreground has persisted under a dense low forest canopy, 6m high. This forest is composed of Melicytus ramiflorus, Hedycarya arborea and Cyathea dealbata, and the Berberis is reacting to shade by producing long lianoid branches reaching up into the canopy.
