smooth, often covered in dried leaf remnants and withered branch stubs. Plants usually dying down to rootstock and/or previous seasons stem nodes, towards end of growing season. Stems mostly seasonal, a few
persistent (i.e. lasting 2 or more years), arising from rootstock base and basal portion of main central stem, widely and unevenly spaced or closely packed, woody, lax and sprawling, sometimes arching and subascendent, weakly angled to
terete, glabrous; mature stems 2.1-4.6 mm diam., 0.3-0.8 m long; green to yellow-green, brittle, bases bearing numerous leaf abscission scars, otherwise devoid of leaves for at least the first ⅔ with the final ⅓ distinctly leafy and often much branched when vegetative, with the leaves tending to fall at flowering and fruiting; upper stems similar, though distinctly leafy and pliant. Leaves coriaceous, fleshy, green to dark green, often glossy. Rosette leaves 5-14(-20), mostly present in autumn - early spring usually not persisting (very rarely so) at fruiting; petioles distinct, up to 40
-⅓, teeth in 3-6(-8) pairs running to praemorse apex, basal few teeth pair usually asymmetric, base narrowly attenuate. Middle stem leaves mostly persisting at fruiting; petiole up to 32 mm long, mostly flat in cross-section, sometimes slightly concave, usually winged; lamina narrowly oblanceolate, oblanceolate, spathulate, oblong, obdeltoid, 15.0-32.0(-56.2)
-⅓, teeth in 3-6(-8) pairs running to the usually praemorse apex, basal few teeth pairs usually asymmetric, lamina base narrowly attenuate, extending as a wing (0.8-1.2 mm wide) usually to petiole base. Upper stem leaves petiolate, petiole 12 mm long, flat or slightly concave, usually broadly winged; lamina narrowly oblanceolate, narrowly lanceolate, narrowly spathulate, to linear-cuneiform, 10.2-20.0(-29.0)
2.4-3.5(-4.8) mm; margins entire or deeply dentate, if dentate then usually asymmetrically tridentate (rarely with 1-4 teeth), lamina base narrowly attenuate, extending as a wing (0.3-1.7 mm wide) almost to petiole base. Racemes (30-)50(-76) mm long, usually congested, elongating up to 100 mm at fruiting, terminal and axillary; rachis and pedicels glabrous (pedicels very rarely bearing a few minute, caducous, glandular hairs near base); pedicels, erecto-
to patent, 0.4-0.8(-1.0) mm long, elongating to 0.8-1.2(-2.0) mm long at fruiting. Flower buds dark green to green, apex glabrous. Flowers sweetly fragrant, 1.6-1.8(-2.0) mm diam. Sepals 4, saccate, pale to dark green with a broad white,
overlapping at base, apex rounded to obtuse, adaxial surface glabrous (sometimes diffusely papillate), abaxial surface usually glabrous, sometimes hairy near base, hairs patent, weakly flexuous, 0.1-0.3 mm long, eglandular, shedding at anthesis; median sepals 1.0
coarsely reticulate; style 0.1-0.2(-0.3) mm long, free from the narrow wing, usually exceeding the notch; stigma 0.18-0.22 mm diam, capitate. Seeds 2, ovoid to ellipsoid, orange-brown to dark red-brown, not winged, 1.8-1.9

When visited by PdL and PBH in 2006, there were fewer than 10 adults in total. Subsequent visits to Mangere Island by Department of Conservation rangers suggest that there has been little change in the population sizes on that island. However, hard data is unavailable and so it would inappropriate to infer from these observations that
