14. Celmisia densiflora Hooker (1864: 130) .

Type:— NEW ZEALAND. Middle [South] Island, Valley of Hopkins, sides of mountains, 2200–5000 ft., 1863, Haast 143 in Herbarium Hookerianum [the left-hand capitulum excluded] (lectotype K 882073 [image!], firststep lectotype designated by Allan (1961: 629), second-step lectotype designated here).

Notes:— Allan (1961: 629) lectotypified this species based on K 882073, which is composed of two floral branches and two capitula with part of the peduncle. However, the left-hand capitulum is different from the rest of the material. The morphology of the phyllaries and the indumentum of the peduncle indicate that it belongs to Celmisia subgenus Pelliculatae . Therefore, that piece of the material (Fig. 3) is hereby excluded from the lectotype (ICN 9.14, Turland et al. 2018).

Hooker mentioned two syntypes. However, one of them (Otago, Lake District, subalpine, Hector and Buchanan) has not been found .
