Whangamarino threatened plant survey uncovers exciting find for Waikato botanists
It’s been more than a decade since threatened plants have been surveyed at Whangamarino Wetland, with the last survey undertaken in 2009.
Covering almost 7,000 ha in the Waikato, Whangamarino is the second largest freshwater wetland in the North Island and is one of three RAMSAR wetlands in the DOC Hauraki-Waikato-Taranaki region.
Waikato District Biodiversity Rangers Lizzie Sharp and Kerry Jones, and plant expert Britta Deichmann, waded into the boggy wetland for 12 days between the months of September 2020 and April 2021, searching for botanical treasures.
“We were particularly excited when we found Utricularia australis or yellow bladderwort, an aquatic carnivorous plant,” says Lizzie Sharp.

Tragic Big Brother star Nikki Grahame was the victim of a series of care failures that led to her entirely avoidable death from anorexia, those closest to the 38-year-old have claimed.
They have also revealed Nikki s desperate struggle to get treatment over the last six months, during which time she was discharged from hospital twice while severely unwell, on one occasion weighing just 22kg – the equivalent of a seven-year-old child.
The last time she was discharged, on Thursday April 8, she weighed less than 31kg. Just 12 hours later, she was dead. If she hadn t have been discharged, I think she d still be with us today, said one friend who has been closely involved with her medical case over a number of years.
