Kanuka, Craters of the Moon, near Taupo
Plants, shrubs & smaller: Kanuka, Craters of the Moon, near Taupo
The steam heats the area so much that this prostrate (creeping) kanuka, Kunzea ericoides var microflorum, is in flower in the middle of winter. Craters of the Moon is largely covered in a mat of this kanuka.
