Please report any new sightings of dactylanthus to your nearest DOC office. Other than in the eastern Cape area most known populations have some plants caged or tagged with a small metal tag, so if the plants aren't caged or tagged please contact DOC. We're particularly interested in sightings from South Island, Northland, Auckland (Waitakeres), Wellington, Great Barrier Island and Whanganui National Park.

We'd also like to know about any fresh wood roses that are being offered for sale, e.g. at travelling fairs, curio shops, or on the internet. Please also get in touch if you spot anybody actually digging plants up.
