Herbarium history:
The K. W. Allison Collection No. 437
Supplementary remarks:
This collection was considered to be Drepanocladus fontinaliopsis (Müll.Hal.) Dixon by both Allison and Sainsbury.
The European-based name Drepanocladus fluitans var. berggrenii (C.E.O.Jensen) C.E.O.Jensen has been applied by R. Ochyra to K.W. Allison 437 ex Rotorua (in CHR). I know little of the var. berggrenii; Nyholm (Moss Flora of Fennoscandia, 1969, p. 428) provides the following diagnosis for this taxon: “a poor, slender plant with short, slightly curved leaves, short and thin, ± branched nerve.”
Given the great variation exhibited by W. fluitans, neither Drepanocladus fontinaliopsis nor Drepanocladus fluitans var. berggrenii are consider worthy of recognition in a N.Z. context.
In my opinion K.W. Allison 437 is taxonomicially identical to S. Berggren 2577 which was cited by Dixon (1929, p. 318) as a N.Z. example of Drepanocladus fontinaliopsis (Müll.Hal.) Dixon.
