Summary
Abstract: Metadata record for data expected from ASAC Project 2545
See the link below for public details on this project.

The orchid Nematoceras (Corybas) dienema has been found in several distinct locations on Macquarie Island. Using molecular genetics, we will investigate the orchid biodiversity and whether these populations have a common origin, the fungal association with the roots ... View entire text

Quality Taken from the 2009-2010 Progress Report:
Field work:
Known populations of each orchid species have been checked in midsummer for population size, location, and species identity. A new population of one species was found near Sawyer Creek waterfall, after extensive searches of a range of likely habitats over much of the island including Waterfall Bay, Jessie Niccol Creek ...
