Newhook (T.R.S.N.Z. 72, 1943, 341) drew attention to the existence of two forms, but provided no formal description or varietal name. He pointed out that the narrow-lvd form is the only one known north of Kaitaia, that it is us. terrestrial, and that it flowers in autumn and early winter whereas the broad-lvd form in the same latitudes flowers in spring and summer. He suggested occ. hybridism between the two vars.
