    I found a small clump of these by the roadside at Pukerua Bay, north of Wellington. The flowers are about 4 cms long, and the leaves about 11cms. I think it may be some sort of cobra lily, but I haven't been able to find any refs or images using Google. Help in identifying this would be most appreciated

    That looks like mouse plant, Roger (Arisarum proboscideum), which is a diminutive member of the aroid family.

    Arisarum vulgare - see http://www.nzpcn.org.nz/flora_details.aspx?ID=6657 and also http://naturewatch.org.nz/observations/1625071 and http://naturewatch.org.nz/observations/3017971
