Notes
editorial
N. granadensis (Mutis ex L.f.) Druce has recently been recognised in Australia, replacing N. depressa Banks & Sol. ex Gaertn., following the prevailing view in South America that N. granadensis and N. depressa are synonymous (Andersson 1993). Whether Australian and New Zealand material represents the same taxon as in America has not been critically evaluated.
