    brachyglottis huntii (chatham island christmas tree)
    <BRACHYGLOTTIS huntii.jpg">
    Shrub to 7m high
    Found naturally only in the Chatham Islands.
    Habitat: This is an opportunistic plant of peaty ground adapted for the rapid colonisation of sites disturbed by natural perturbations (gale damage, erosion events, floods, fire). Natural succession to mature forest would normally crowd it out. Forest, shrubland and drier swamps, often on streamsides or near ridge crests.
    Features: Shrub or spreading tree up to 8 m tall. Leaves clad in downy hairs, giving the whole plant a silvery hue. The brilliant yellow flowers are produced from November to February. Fruit are produced in late summer and early autumn.

  • 8 Pashm

    PASHM, PASHMINA, PASHIM, PUSH-MINA
    The fine, downy hair obtained from several species of goats in Kashmir and other parts of India. The hair of the goat is cut off once a year with a blunt knife, leaving the soft pashm, or undergrowth of hair behind. The pashm is combed out, pulled apart and all coarser fibres are picked out by hand. The finest quality is yielded by a domesticated goat and from this type the finest Kashmir shawls are made, this variety is called Turfani pashm, or phum, or simply pashm. A lower grade is Phiri. Another variety is obtained from a wild goat and this hair is usually coloured (black or grey). The black is known as Shabri, and the grey as Shah-tush, this type, although genuine pashm, is not so; high in quality as the domestic type. Pashmina is the finest fibre among the wools and hairs, and is the wool used for the finest Cashmere shawls and other Kashmir products. ————————
    PASHMINA SUBSTITUTES, PASHM
    The comparatively scarce Ibex, which yields a white or silver-grey hair, Changtain Pashmina (also called Kuhlchack or Ralchack). In the later years of the 19th century a very soft wool was imported from Southern Persia to Kashmir, under the name of Kirmani Pashm, and used in some of the Kashmir products. Other substitutes came from Afghanistan under the name of Kabul Pashm. The Yak is included by some authorities as a pashm producing animal.
