	Matagouri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Matagouri, Discaria toumatou, is a plant endemic to New Zealand.
		Matagouri is a tangle branched, extremely thorny shrub or small tree up to 5 metres tall.
		As with other Discaria species it fixes nitrogen from the atmosphere with the help of symbiotic bacteria of the Frankia genus in its roots.

	Medan—Discaria americana reproduction
		Abstract Discaria americana individuals bloom in late winter or early spring and display large numbers of small, white, entomophilous flowers for about a month.
		Endocarp maturation apparently sets an upper limit on seed expansion and, indirectly, on size increase of the fruit.
		Early flowering and erect pedicels are apparently derived traits within Discaria.

		Always in grey scrub, where it is primarily associated with matagouri (Discaria toumatou Raoul) shrubs.
		Seriously threatened by aerial spraying for gorse (Ulex europaeus L.), and by scrub fires.
		This species often grows within and through matagouri (Discaria toumatou) so it is easily overlooked.

	Webb - Reproductive biology of Discaria toumatou
		Abstract Discaria toumatou (Rhamnaceae) is a spiny shrub endemic to New Zealand.
		Pollen is presented first and removed by wasps, flies, and bees which visit the flowers; after one to three days the three stylar branches unfold and an exudate is produced covering the stigmatic area at the tip of each branch.
		The species provides a clear example of the co-occurrence of dichogamy and self- incompatibility, and has an unspecialised pollina- tion system as is characteristic of many New Zealand plants.

	History of the Matagouri (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Native to the South Island of New Zealand and found around the foot hills of the Southern Alps up to 800 metres above sea level.
		Discaria takes up to 500 years to reach maturity and a height of up to two metres.
		It is a bushy, very twisted, entwined, thorny plant and it is thought it's characteristics developed to repel feeding moas

	Key to Tasmanian Dicots
		The plants often have the smaller stems and undersides of the leaves covered a pale or rusty indumentum of hairs.
		The leaves are mostly alternate (apart from Discaria with its distinctive spinous stems).
		Some species have narrow (linear) leaves, but most species have more or less ovate or elliptical leaves with obvious veins.

		Have some petunia seeds, that a friend sent to me that she collected from her garden last year...that I have to plant today.
		The discaria has been dumped....not a single sprout and don't have room for plants that aren't going to co-operate.
		The Datura that I started is growing like crazy...will have to be re-potted to a 4 inch pot soon..I already transplanted it into a 2 1/2 inch pot....so my guess is started way to early.....but still have 6 seeds to start some later as well.
