editorial
Although internationally this is currently regarded either as a variety of Phylloclaus trichomanoides (Farjon, 2017) or a synonym of P. trichomanoides (Plants of the World Online, GBIF), it is still regarded as a separate species in New Zealand. Interestingly, Hooker, when he published the name wrote: "..and fear it ma yprove only an apline variety of P. trichomanoides."
