Tmesipteris ex Mt Fyffe
This is not typical Elongata and at least resembles 'TE OKA' (= 'Banks Peninsula of Druce's list_. Note small synaugia? and symmetrical mucros?
It is noteworthy that Toui Huber collected in this area for the Forest Service, and had difficulties determining Tmesipteris specimens (pers. comm. on library steps, some years ago).
'TE OKA' may be in Kaikoura forests, as well as on Banks Peninsula.
