NZ Orchid Key

NZ Orchid Key est pour l'identification de la Nouvelle-Zélande orchidées indigènes.

This free app covers a vast array of plant characters for identifying native orchids, including leaves, flowers, habitats, and distribution.

There are 120–160 species of native orchids in New Zealand, including those that don’t yet have formal botanical names. Native orchids have high conservation values and should not be removed from the wild.

Key authors: Murray Dawson, Jeremy Rolfe, Kathleen Stewart, Jenny Dent, and Michael Pratt.

We thank members of the New Zealand Native Orchid Group (http://www.nativeorchids.co.nz) and the NatureWatch NZ project (http://naturewatch.org.nz/projects/new-zealand-native-orchids) for contributing images to this key.

The New Zealand TFBIS (Terrestrial & Freshwater Biodiversity Information System) Programme funded creation of this app.
