Abstract Surface samples collected at different altitudes and in different plant communities in Westland National Park, the Craigieburn Range (Central Canterbury), and the Nelson Lakes National Park district were studied as a first contribution to knowledge of pollen dispersal from indigenous vegetation in New Zealand. The results emphasise the difference in pollen dispersal between wind-and insect-pollinated plants - differences which are important when interpreting Post-glacial pollen diagrams.
