I have recently been to see Anisotome patula near Pareora, and am interested in this species.
The website says that its exact status and distribution is unclear, whilst the account of Gingidia enysii on the website states that recent research favours returning to decisions made by J. Dawson (1967) - in which A. patula was considered a synonym of G. enysii (although that is not specifically discussed).
Can anyone shed any light on this ?
