Flora of New Zealand Series

C. intermedia Petrie in T.N.Z.I. 45, 1913, 267.

Type: W, 2146, Arthur Pass, D. Petrie.

Lamina narrow-obovate to elliptic-spathulate, ± 15 × 6-10 mm., sub-acute, cuneately narrowed to petiole. Scapes very slender, up to c. 15 cm. long. Capitula 10-15 mm. diam.

DIST.: S. Mountains from Arthur Pass through Westland.

Very close indeed to type of C. discolor but rather smaller and more uniform in all parts. Kirk's var. petiolata of C. incana, which is discussed under that sp., is also rather closely related to C. discolor.
