Notes:
Olearia angulata, Metrosideros excelsa, Kunzea ericoides var. From a small tree 2m tall x 3 m wide. Druce considers this to be a possible variety but comparison of K. excelsa from Spirits Bay exhibited no obvious differences other than size of adults. Needs cultivation to ascertain true status. Six specimens found on serpentine.
