Some of the exposed summit peaks have a stony mineral soil with little peat development. They support a variety of plants, including Pleurophyllum hookeri which is often common, Plantago aucklandica with its large leaf rosettes, Ranunculus pinguis with unusually large yellow flowers for the size of the plants and Myosotis capitata with brilliant dark blue flowers.
