The current view is to recognise two varieties: P. patula var. patula and P. patula var. longipedunculata, the former possessing almost sessile female cones, and the latter possessing long-stalked female cones. Both varieties have been recorded in New Zealand. Naturalised on both main islands of New Zealand. Matt Buys, pers. comm. 2021”
