Story: European discovery of plants and animals
Vegetable sheep are unusual cushion plants that grow in New Zealand’s mountain ranges. This species (Raoulia australis) was first collected by E. F. L. Raoul, a French naval doctor. He made substantial collections of plants from the eastern South Island while French naval vessels were monitoring the French settlement at Akaroa on Banks Peninsula.
