Note text

"The circumscription of this third species [of Selliera] has always been problematic (Allan 1961; Colenso 1890) ..."; "S. radicans remains a notoriously variable species with respect to size, stature and habitats, such that plants referred to as S. microphylla could be regarded as simply a reduced mountain race of S. radicans. But chromosome count: 2n = 56 which is very different to the 2n = 16 one sees in S. radicans and S. rotundifolia (Murray & de Lange 2013)
