Description

A small clearing in dense New Zealand bush, with tree fern to the left, a young nikau with a short trunk in the centre, the drooping branches of a rimu overhanging it. The tall trees on the left are totara, with epiphytes of kiekie growing from their trunks. The red flower of the mistletoe can be seen at the top of the broken trunk to the right in the foreground.

This is the original of Gully's 'New Zealand forest (bush) vegetation', published as a chromolithograph in 'New Zealand scenery' (Dunedin: Henry Wise, 1877), Plate 15 (PUBL-0010-15)
