Talk:Metrosideros

Is the cited source saying M. polymorpha is that widely distributed? In Hawai'i, the species has always been regarded as an endemic - Marshman 17:23, 17 August 2005 (UTC)


 * It is endemic; this has been corrected and the Mearnsia species added to the species list. I believe it is more or less complete now, though we seem to be a few short of the widely-cited 26 species in subgenus Metrosideros - KarlM 10:00, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

On reading the article, I understood "widely distributed" as meaning "widely distributed within the Hawai'i Islands". Microstrobos (talk) 00:54, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Solomons species
Simpson (2005:35) lists two species for the Solomon Islands: M. salomonensis, which he includes in subgenus Metrosideros; and an 'un-named species' which he includes in Mearnsia. Kahuroa 07:27, 13 December 2006 (UTC). Simpson's book is beautiful, Te Papa Press is the imprint of the Museum of New Zealand.

Metrosideros queenslandicus has been reclassified as Thaleropia queenslandicus, plus several related New Guinea species have been likewise reclassified. I have been unable to establish the exact relationship now believed to exist. Is there a dedicated botanist who can add to the entry. ````
