Astelia fragrans ( Name) vs  Collospermum hastatum  / Astelia Hastata (Name)
There seems to be diverse views on which of the two plant names above applies to Kahakaha - Widowmaker. The bulk of the evidence seems to favour Collospermum hastatum  / Astelia Hastata (Name).

Also there is no page for Collospermum hastatum / Astelia Hastata (Name) - maybe I should create one?
