PARATYPE. Holotype in WELT. Original det: Aciphylla colensoi var. maxima T.Kirk
"A very different plant indeed from its relatives of drier regions. It would be much more convinient to consider it a species rather than a variety of A. colensoi, especially as I do not think there are any 'intermediate forms' " L Cockayne
