I have always considered this a valid species. Mr. T. Kirk referred my 

 specimens to C. sfectahilis. Hook. f. The leaf is altogether different from 

 that of C. Lt/aUii, which is extremely stiff and coriaceous, tapers to an almost 

 pungent point, is grooved on both surfaces, has no evident midrib, and is 

 thinly tomentose on the ridges of the under -surface only. C. pseudo-Lyallii 

 has a much less stiff leaf, which is tapering and acute, but not drawn out to 

 a fine pungent point. There are no regular grooves and ridges, but the 

 upper surface is plaited and dark- not yellowish-green ; the midrib is keeled 

 on the under-surface, which latter is thickly tomentose with dense silky 

 tomentum. So far as I know, C. pseudo-Lyallii is confined to the drier 

 mountains of Canterbury. Probably, too, it is one of the species which have 

 been confused with C. monroi, Hook. f.
