... that Lydia Wevers was the first scholar to write about the history of short stories in New Zealand? Source: "She also wrote 'The Short Story' in the Oxford History of New Zealand in English edited by Terry Sturm (1991, Second Edition 199) which was the first historical discussion of the short story in New Zealand."

These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
