Specimen notes
Supplementary remarks:
The leaves on a few branches are weakly reflexed and more suggestive of the squarrose leaves typical of this species than the other Kermadec collection (de Lange & Havell K498). The dry leaves here still seem more plicate than those of specimens from Australia and PNG.
