Notes:
Transferred from Canterbury Museum, Christchurch (CANTY), May 1975. Ex The Carse Herbarium, no.1127/3. Leaves 50-100 mm. [Two very distinct forms here but I cannot fit the Musuem specimens into two groups corresponding with them. I find leaves of various lengths and corolla tubes 4 to 6 mm in length. I am noting the differences in my paper. If two forms had to be named it would be necessary to determine which was the true Dracophyllum lessonianum and this could scarcely be done without reference to the Type. May be juvenile (1st species) and adult (the rest). (WRB Oliver)]. Sheets A and B.
