2020 New Zealand Seaweed Placemats designed by Tanya Wolfkamp and published by Live Wires NZ Ltd.
This set of four placemats with matching coasters celebrates our beautiful brown seaweeds. Below top left clockwise – Neptune’s Necklace / Hormosira Banksii, Sargassum / Sargassum Raoulii, Zig-zag weed / Cystophora Torulosa and Giant Kelp / giant bladder kelp / Macrocystis Pyrifera.
Illustrations, courtesy of Auckland City Library, are from the 1858-1863 five volume ‘Phycologia Australica’ by William H. Harvey.
