Goats[edit]

It is a nice story that this plant was rediscovered on the same day that the last goat was shot on Raoul Island but it is simply not true.

These two events are separated by more than 12 months and about 100 goats.

After some years of being presumed extinct (NZ Red Data Book, 1981: Rare and Endangered Plants of NZ, 1981 etc) a single plant was found in mid-1983 - Raoul and the Kermadecs - Steven Gentry and other sources. The person who found this plant was not present on Raoul in 1984.

The last goat was not shot until late in 1984, by Andy Rostenburg, also described in Raoul and the Kermadecs - Steven Gentry. Andy Rostenburg did not set foot on Raoul Island until 1984. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scrim58 (talk • contribs)
