A taxonomic revision of Hebe and Leonohebe in New Zealand has involved studies of plant morphology and flavonoid chemistry. This paper is the second in a series that summarises the composition and taxonomic distribution of leaf flavonoids in the two genera. It outlines the distribution of flavonoids in species of “Apertae”, “Occlusae”, and “Grandiflorae” (informal infrageneric groups of Hebe ). Presence/absence data are presen...

A taxonomic revision of Hebe and Leonohebe in New Zealand has involved studies of both plant morphology and flavonoid chemistry. This paper is the first in a series that summarises the composition and taxonomic distribution of leaf flavonoids in the two genera. It describes the flavonoid glycosides encountered in a survey of c. 700 samples (from throughout the two genera), and outlines the distribution of flavonoids in species...

Variation in morphology and flavonoid chemistry is appraised in populations of H. albicans, H. recurva , and the tag name entity H. “glaucophylla NW Nelson”, which together comprise the H. albicans complex. Morphological comparisons include a morphometric study of leaf variation. Comparisons in flavonoid chemistry are made with several other species of “Subcarnosae” and small‐leaved “Occlusae”. It is proposed that members of t...

A revised species‐level classification is presented for Hebe informal group “Connatae”, based on a study of morphology and leaf flavonoids. Accepted species are: Hebe macrocalyx (including var. macrocalyx and var. humilis), H. haastii, H. epacridea, H. ramosissima, H. petriei, H. murrellii, and H. benthamii. The limits of H. macrocalyx, H. haastii, H. epacridea, and H. ramosissima have historically been the subject of confusio...

Variation in morphology and flavonoid chemistry is appraised in populations of Hebe pimeleoides. An infraspecific classification is proposed for H. pimeleoides, wherein two subspecies are recognised. Subspecies pimeleoides occurs from south‐east Nelson to central Otago, and is a subshrub of open places near lakes and streams, and of grassy slopes. Subspecies faucicola occurs in central Otago, and is a small, erect shrub growin...

Geographic variation in morphology, leaf anatomy, and flavonoid chemistry is appraised in Hebe pubescens, H. bollonsii, and allied plants from islands of outer Hauraki Gulf, North Island, New Zealand. The circumscription of H. pubescens is modified to include plants from Great Barrier, Little Barrier, and the Mokohinau Islands, as well as the Coromandel Peninsula and immediately surrounding islands. A new infraspecific classif...

This paper is a further contribution toward a revision of the species‐level taxonomy of Hebe in New Zealand. Data on morphology, flavonoid chemistry, and chromosome numbers are used in the recognition of new taxa of section Subdistichae Heads. New taxa described herein are: H. societatis, known only from Mt Murchison, Braeburn Range, South Island; H. scopulorum, which occurs in the Awaroa valley, south‐east of Kawhia, North Is...

Hebe calcicola is a new species described from outcropping marble in north‐west Nelson, New Zealand. It is a shrub with glossy leaves to 45 mm long, no sinus in the leaf bud, unbranched and lateral inflorescences, pedicillate flowers, white corollas that are papillate within with tubes shorter than surrounding calyces, and pubescent ovaries and fruit. It is placed in series Occlusae, and is morphologically and geographically d...

Two entities have long been recognised at the rank of either species or variety in the New Zealand endemic Hebe parviflora complex but, because one of the critical type specimens had not previously been examined by New Zealand botsnists, there has been uncertainty regarding the correct application Of names. The two entities Can be distinguished on characters of habit, leaves, flowers, leaf flavonoids, and chromosome number, an...

The distribution of flavonoid glycosides in five species and three putative variants of Phyllocladus is examined to evaluate its taxonomic significance. The status of all five species is supported by their respective accumulation of major constituents and the regular presence/absence of quantitatively minor components. There are reasonable grounds, based on flavonoid complement, for the recognition of the North Cape variant of...
