Distribution New Zealand
Like B. elaeagnifolia, but leaves thinner, more flexible, with a thinner silvery-white felt beneath; inflorescence-branches rather more slender and involucral scales rather less blunt.Native of the South Island of New Zealand, where it is rather common in montane forest and scrub, and formerly included within B. elaeagnifolia. Some of the plants in cultivation in the British Isles under B. elaeagnifolia perhaps belong here, but the classification of the rayless New Zealand species is yet to be fully worked out.
