Nomenclatural Comment: The species epithet pallidus is an obvious reference to the pale colour of the plants. The disused epithet torquatus makes reference to contorted leaves, presumably those of the often present reduced and propagula-like shoots., Lectotype: N.Z., Northern Island, Auckland, Sinclair, BM 000517611! The Sinclair collection, one of two syntypes cited in the protologue is fertile and ample. Frahm (in herb. BM) has annotated this specimen “chosen as lectotype” with an illegible date (1981?). A published statement of this lectotypification cannot be located and in Frahm (1987) he stated that he had not seen type material.
