Nomenclatural Comment
I have been unable to find any clear-cut points of difference. Colenso (T.N.Z.I. 26, 1894, 318) describes a small form under the name H. muscoides: "Lvs . . . linear, semi-terete, thick, 11/2 lines long, 1/25 in. broad, wider and flatter at base . . . Tongariro Mountain, Taupo; 1893. Mr. H. Hill. Obs. A species near to H. colensoi, Hook. f., but with very much smaller and differently-shaped leaves. All the flowers I have seen (nearly a dozen) were 6-lobed and regular."
