Daisy: Common Vegetable Sheep, Nelson Lakes
Plants, alpine: Daisy: Common Vegetable Sheep, Nelson Lakes
Two types of 'vegetable sheep', the larger Giant vegetable sheep, Haastia pulvinaris, in the foreground, and the Common vegetable sheep, Raoulia eximia, in the background. A few small patches of the Common have invaded the Giant. They are both members of the daisy family. This is at about 1550 metres.
