Herbarium history:
[Ex] Herbarium National Instutute of Polar Research, Tokyo, Japan R. NO. 820323-049
Supplementary remarks:
"immersed beside stream"
I consider this specimen to be highly instructive. It is the only Pupu Springs material of "Sciaromium/Hpynobartlettia" that I have seen that is not at all bistratose!
I cannot distinguish this material from the Southland syntye of Sciaromium bellii Broth. (which I consider to be an extreme from of Cratoneuropsis relaxa).
paraphyllia: present & moderatly numerous
leaf shape:ovate-lanceolate
mid leaf lamina thickness: entirely unistratose
mid leaf margin thickness: unistratoise (but cell walls thicker than adjacent laminal cells ) NB: cells at leaf apex partially bistratose
stem leaf reflexion: none
costa width (about 1/4 above base): 45-60µm, but appearing stout & percurrent.
