Conservation is an inherently social process—people collectively endeavor to enact conservation. Yet, in conservation social science, research methodologies, training, and competency are less common than in natural sciences. Globally, formal education and training in the social sciences are often unavailable or inaccessible to conservation practitioners, and nonformal education may help fill this gap. To identify potential opp...

Geographic variation in morphology, leaf anatomy, and flavonoid chemistry is appraised in Hebe pubescens, H. bollonsii, and allied plants from islands of outer Hauraki Gulf, North Island, New Zealand. The circumscription of H. pubescens is modified to include plants from Great Barrier, Little Barrier, and the Mokohinau Islands, as well as the Coromandel Peninsula and immediately surrounding islands. A new infraspecific classif...

This paper is a further contribution toward a revision of the species‐level taxonomy of Hebe in New Zealand. Data on morphology, flavonoid chemistry, and chromosome numbers are used in the recognition of new taxa of section Subdistichae Heads. New taxa described herein are: H. societatis, known only from Mt Murchison, Braeburn Range, South Island; H. scopulorum, which occurs in the Awaroa valley, south‐east of Kawhia, North Is...
