Shaw et al. 2022 determined that all material cultivated in the UK as Gunnera manicata is, in fact, a G. manicata × tinctoria hybrid they named G. ×cryptica. The same is likely true of NZ material, and it’s uncertain if true G. manicata is present in NZ.

Wanntorp et al. (2002) state that the name G. manicata was validated by the description of Linden’s plant published by André (1873). This is repeated by Wanntorp (2003), where it is asserted that no botanical description was provided at the time of its first being made available through Linden’s nursery in 1867. Although the detailed account by André (1873) is more satisfactory from a botanical point of view as the source of the description of the species, Delchevalerie’s text clearly provides a number of characters by which the plant may be recognised, taking into account that the only other large Gunnera in cultivation was G. tinctoria (= G. scabra; G. chilensis). As such the description can be deemed to satisfy Article 32.1(d) of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature. The author citation and the date of publication should be Gunnera manicata Linden ex Delchevalerie, Revue Horticole 39: 218, 1867 according to Shaw 2007. This statement was revoked by Shaw 2022 where he cites Gunnera manicata Linden ex André 1866 as the correct name. Shaw, J.M.H.; Edwards, D.; David, J. 2022: A new spontaneous hybrid in Gunnera subgenus Panke (Gunneraceae) widespread in the British Isles, with notes on the typification of G. manicata. British & Irish Botany 4(3): 364–384.
