11009-09007 Mount Cook buttercup (Ranunculus lyallii) view of field of flowering buttercps along streambank. Unfortunately in many alpine areas introduced deer, chamois and Himalayan tahr have decimated such fields of Mount Cook lilies in recent years. Temple Basin, Arthur's Pass *
11009-09101 Cut-leaved mountain buttercup (Ranunculus buchananii) flowering plant in alpine fell-field. This large striking species is restricted to high alpine fell-fields and snow bank areas in the Southern Alps between south Westland and Fiordland. Plants such as this often fall victim to introduced browsing animals such as deer, tahr and chamois today. Tutoko Valley High Bench, Fiordland *
