    This plant was on a dry sunny clay bank in an open coastal condition North Taranaki just south of Mokau.
    This prostrate plant was hanging done the bank. The upper branches were >2cm in diameter.

    Hi Phil, could it be Pimelea carnosa? the densely hairy young stems, fleshy glaucus leaves, distribution in the Waitomo District and pendent habit on a bank seem to fit.

    Hi Phil, Jesse is probably correct. Pimelea carnosa seems likely that or one of the subspecies of P. prostrata. I want you that they are not easy to key out - but the descriptions in the NZPCN fact sheets should help.

    P. carnosa is pretty frequent along Taranaki coast. Likely this
