摘要
A seed probably of kowhai (Sophora microphylla), was found on a lake shore at Macquarie Island. The species does not occur on the island, and the seed may have been carried there by a bird that found it at sea. It shows how two consecutively acting long-distance dispersal agents may have facilitated colonization of oceanic islands by the Edwardsia group of Sophora species.
