About Epilobium glabellum G.Forst.
Epilobium glabellum G.Forst. can grow either as a small bush or in mats, producing many stems from a single taproot. Stems may be covered in hairs, while its capsules and floral tubes are glabrous (hairless). Most of the stem has closely spaced, opposite leaves that sometimes overlap, with tiny margins. Flowers are white, purple, or pink after pollination, and bloom from November through May. Its seeds are anemochorous, meaning they are dispersed by wind, and can potentially travel from source sites as far as 50 km away. This species is found on both the North Island and South Island. It grows on stony ground at high altitude near glaciers, and is an early colonizer of screefields.
