Note:
I agree with Colin that these (CHR 616282, CHR 616283 and CHR 616284) are all the same species. Certainly Euchiton japonicas complex sensu Flann (2010). These species seem poorly separated to me and need further study to clarify. In the absence of flowering/fruiting material I am reluctant to go further.
After comparing with the Druce and Ogle/Rogers Moawhango collections of E. ensifer at CHR (CHR 616283), I would (if pushed) say these are all E. audax as the leaves more obovate-spathulate than narrow-elliptic, although the acute leaf tips would actually suggest E. ruahinicus, the lower midribs are hairy.
