Click to collapse Notes Info

editorial
Govaerts & Frodin (1999) placed N. truncata in synonymy of Nothofagus fusca var. colensoi (Hooker 1853: 229) Cheeseman (1906: 641). This treatment is incomprehensible and contradicts the available ecological, morphological and genetic evidence on the distinctiveness of F. fusca and F. truncata and is therefore not accepted here or elsewhere (e.g., Allan 1961, Wardle 1984, Mark & Lee 1985, Haase 1990, 1992, Dawson & Lucas 2011).
