Anisotome latifolia
Anisotome latifolia, commonly known as the Campbell Island carrot, is a species of plant in the genus Anisotome of the carrot family (Apiaceae). It is native to the Auckland and Campbell Islands in the subantarctic regions of the South Pacific.
The plant is easy to grow from fresh seed in deep, peaty, permanently moist soil, though it does not tolerate hot weather.
The plant is endemic to New Zealand's subantarctic Auckland and Campbell Islands, where it is a striking component of the megaherb community. It occurs from the coast up to the tops of the island ranges on peaty ground among tussocks and other megaherbs, though more rarely under low forest. It is most abundant at lower altitudes and where the vegetation is not subject to browsing by introduced animals.
