    Is the various different forms ever going to be resolved as i have two types growing at home.One is from Blondin stream in Canterbury,and the other [i think] is from somewhere in the Marlborough area.

    Hi John

    As far as I know Dr Brian Molloy is still working on this. Quite a bit has been done on the complex with respect to their cytology and DNA sequence data has been gathered (see Mitchell et al 2009) but beyond that its a "work in progress".

    Cheerio

    Thanks Peter
    I just realised that i have at least 2 more unclassified members of Melicytus alpinus at home so it will be good when they are finally resolved.
    Cheers
    John
