Synopsis

Excerpt from Illustrations of the New Zealand Flora, Vol. 2

Cyallzodos Cole/moi is one of the many discoveries that we owe to the unwearied diligence of Mr. Colenso. It was first gathered by him in February, 1847, at the. Eastern base of Tongariro. Speaking of it in his Journeys to the Ruahine Range, p. 39, he says, During the former part of this day I met with several botanical novelties - agi, a very handsome full-flowered Cyalhodes (c. A. Low bushy shrub of depressed growth. Some plants bearing white and some red berries in profusion. This will become a garden flower. In following years he also collected it on the Ruahine Mountains and in other localities, and it was solely from his specimens that the species was described by Sir J. D. Hooker in the Flora, where, however, it was treated as a Leucopogon. Since that time, however, the range of the plant has been more fully worked out. In addition to the localities given by Colenso, it has been recorded from the Kaimanawa and Tararua Mountains, in the North Island. In the. South Island it is fairly plentiful on the mountains of Nelson and Canterbury, but mainly on the eastern side of the dividing-range. It was not gathered by Mr. Townson in the vicinity of Westport, nor do I find it quoted in the list of plants collected by Mr. Hamilton near Okarito. In Otago'it appears to be local, but it has been gathered in isolated localities as far south as the Blue Mountains. Its altitudinal range is from ft. To ft.
