Notothlaspi rosulatum, or penwiper,[2] is a species of alpine plant, endemic to New Zealand.[3][4][5] It is the logo of the Canterbury Botanical Society.[6]
Description
[edit]A short small herb, with circular form and small flattened leaves with denticulate margins, and flat gray seedpods on top.
Distribution and habitat
[edit]Its current known range is in the Southern Alps of the South Island in New Zealand.[5] It is not threatened.[1] It is known from alpine scree slopes up to 1850 m.[4]
This species overlaps with two others species in its genera, N. viretum and N. australe, although it is the only one found in the central and southern alps.[7]
