Taeniophyllum norfolkianum is recorded for New Zealand from the Waipu Ecological District in Northland. Plants were found on twigs and branches of gorse in retired pasture reverting to indigenous forest. New Zealand plants share with Norfolk Island plants the tri-lobed labellum with prominent apical spine, but differ in their larger, bright yellow flowers, conspicuously papillate penduncle and rachis and smaller plant size. Taeniophyllum norfolkianum brings the number of epiphytic orchid species indigenous to New Zealand to nine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
