The more compact of the two I call 'Dinah Hall' , the first English woman enrolled to come to New Zealand in 1808, and who was one of the four women aboard the Active who landed so long ago at Rangihoua in the Bay of Islands, and who lived with her husband and two children at Waitangi from September 1815 to January 1816. She nearly became New Zealand's first martyr when knocked senseless by a party of marauding Maoris..... The second seedling is 'Martha Clarke' or 'Clarke Memorial' ..... Shiny deep foliage is a characteristic of these plants. They will feature extensively in the new plantings we plant along our roadsides her at Te Kauwhata.
