	PHORMIUM - LoveToKnow Article on PHORMIUM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Phormium has been treated as a cultivated plant in New Zealand, though only to a limited extent; for the supplies of the raw material dependence has been principally placed on tlfe abundance of the wild stocks and on sets planted as hedges and boundaries by the Maoris.
		An idea of the extent of the growth of the fibre may be gathered from the fact that the exports for 1905 amounted to 28,877 bales at a value of nearly 700,000.
		Phormium is a cream-colored fibre with a fine silky gloss, capable of being spun and woven into many of the heavier textures for which flax is used, either alone or in combination with flax.

		Een langdurige vorstperiode met een snijdende oosten wind zoals in de winter van 2002-2003 is echter te veel voor de schoonheid van alle Phormiums.
		Volgens een kweker was de Phormium tenax “Atropurpureum” het sterkst in het Hollandse klimaat en dat lijkt hiermee bewezen.

	Royal Horticultural Society - Gardening Advice: Phormium Mealybugs
		This mealybug, like the phormiums they infest, originates from New Zealand, and was inadvertently brought into Britain on imported plants during the 1970s.
		Unlike the mealybugs encountered in greenhouses and on houseplants, the phormium mealybug is hardy enough to survive harsh winters out of doors.
		Before buying phormiums, examine the leaf bases carefully and reject any that show signs of mealybugs or their waxy secretions.

	Phormium pests and diseases (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Healthy Phormium leaves are rarely attacked by slugs or snails or by leaf-feeding insects.
		Occasionally the soft young leaves are damaged (possibly by slugs) as they emerge from between the older leaves and this can result in a characteristic pair of holes that move up the leaf as it develops.
		In the book 'New Zealand Trees and Shrubs' by L.J. Metcalf, there are descriptions of two diseases of phormiums: Phormium leaf spot; a fungus disease which causes brownish or greyish, purple-edged spots on the leaves, and Phormium yellow-leaf virus which causes abnormal yellowing of leaves and ultimately, death of the plant.

	McBreen et al.-Molecular investigation of Phormium
		Abstract Molecular techniques - sequencing of the nuclear internal transcribed spacer region (ITS), and fingerprinting of amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) and intersimple sequence repeats (ISSR) - were investigated for their potential to characterise genetic variation in harakeke (Phormium spp., family Hemerocallidaceae) in New Zealand.
		However, both AFLP and ISSR identified genome regions that were polymorphic among intraspecific accessions of Phormium obtained from the National New Zealand Flax Collection.
		Further sampling of natural populations is required to understand the origins and present-day distributions of these accessions; however, the present results show the usefulness of these methods for addressing such ethnobotanic questions.
