ON THIS PLANT

Celmisia mackaui, commonly known as the Akaroa daisy or Banks Peninsula daisy, is a species of flowering plant in the mountain daisy genus Celmisia which is endemic to Banks Peninsula, New Zealand. It was first collected near Akaroa in 1843 by French naval surgeon and botanist Étienne Raoul, who named it after Minister of the French Navy Ange René Armand de Mackau. Its natural range is the south-eastern corner of the peninsula, and its small and declining population means it is classed as nationally endangered.
