Notes:
Abundant in raised planter boxes near classrooms. Growing under small ornamental flaxes. Exposed plants dark bronze-green, tinged reddish (green in heavy shade); petioles and petiolules often hairy; flower petals white, rather conspicuous for size of plant; siliques dark green or reddish green, solitary or (rarely) in threes, peduncle often elongated and buried in leaf litter well away from leaves. This form is very different from the typical form of C. corymbosa seen around Auckland City.
