editorial
Corrigenda inserted into Petrie 1912[1911], p. 180: "As the specific name intermedia is already appropriated, if the genus Ligusticum as used in Cheeseman's Manual be merged with Aciphylla, the name oreophila is suggested by the author for the species.-Editor."

editorial
Oliver (1956) points out that A. P. Druce, with a detailed knowledge of the occurrences of this sp., considers that it may be of origin A. colensoi × dissecta.
