Aciphylla is one of the largest indigenous vascular plant genera in Aotearoa New Zealand, with ~ 40 species. The larger species are an often prominent and iconic feature of our tussocklands and the bane of trampers. Despite the ecological and cultural significance of Aciphylla, the taxonomy of the genus has not been comprehensively revised since 1956, and there are many outstanding issues. Lara and Leon will provide an introduction to the genus and the taxonomic problems they are hoping to resolve.
