A small tree; leaflets only about 1⁄6 in. long, in up to forty pairs. Flowers lemon-yellow, about 2 in. long. This was described in 1942 from plants found at Takaka in the northwestern part of South Island, growing on limestone rocks. It is perhaps not in cultivation in Britain but deserves to be introduced, being very ornamental (L. J. Metcalf, Cult. N.Z. Tr. and Shr. (1972), p. 256).
