Sent by Mrs Hodgson as No38 to Dr. Th. Herzog & described as L. multialata Herz. n.sp in Trans R.S.N.Z. Vol 65 1935 p.352. Herzog wrote:- "An extraordinary, interesting example which almost warrants the creation of a new genus."
Mrs Hodgson reduced L. multialata to a synonym of L. biciliata (Tayl.) Mitt. in T.R.S.N.Z. Vol 80 pts 3&4 Feb 1953 p. 353.
