The three small pieces of the plant agree quite will with your specimens from N.Z. except that the lvs and especially the peduncles are more elongate, the peduncles 1 in the fr. stage reaching 30 mm. long. The type sheet also bears 2 other collections under Gunn 967, both from Franklin River and dated Feb 1845. "(The Hampshire Hills coll. is that quoted by Hooker and must include type.
