Talk:Kunzea ericoides

Naming and confusion with L. scoparium'

I was my understanding that Kanuka, had been moved into the genus Leptospermum. Could there be some clarification with respect to the Northland Maori name for Kanuka being Manuka, and the Northland name for Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium) being Kahikatoa. (JT Salmon - rev ed 1996, reprint 2001 ISBN 0-7900-0503-4) This clarification could also help with the claim that 'manuka can grow to 15m' where most probably it is L. ericoidies in Northland growing in to 15m, and therefore leading to some naming confusion.

Salmon also suggests that the two, Kanuka and Manuka, are endemic to NZ so unless there is recent (post 1996) molecular evidence to the contrary I suggest separating these from the Australian mainland and Tasmanian trees of the same genus. - Dr R.

Kanuka has not been moved into Leptospermum but there is some confusion as Kanuka as a group has been revised into many different species (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4154306/) and this article describes them together (It describes Kanuka, not K. ericoides). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quixoticelixer- (talk • contribs) 22:42, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

File:Ti-tree sprig2.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Ti-tree sprig2.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on August 16, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-08-16. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 18:32, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Picture of the day

A sprig from a Kānuka (Kunzea ericoides), a tree native to Australia and New Zealand. It can grow to a height of 30 m (98 ft), and with its small but abundant flowers, it can colour a whole hillside white, almost giving the appearance of snow cover. It is widespread particularly in coastal scrub, and may also be found colonizing land recovering after a fire or reverting to a natural state after being used for agriculture.Photo: Benjamint444

this article starts by saying that Kānuka is the species Kunzea ericoides. It then says that Kanuka occurs in Australia and New Zealand. It then says that the Australian species has been confused with the New Zealand species. this makes no sense. Kunzea ericoides is a species. If it occurs in Australia then it can not be confused with the Australian species, it is an Australian species.Mark Marathon (talk) 07:54, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Kunzea ericoides/K. leptospermoides

I propose to refer to Kunzea ericoides as strictly a New Zealand species, distinct from the similar Kunzea leptospermoides which is an Australian endemic. Kew Gardens WCSP lists K. ericoides as occurring only on the northern part of the South Island of New Zealand. Gderrin (talk) 09:47, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

My thanks to Ericoides for his advice. Gderrin (talk) 10:03, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

"Burgan"

So far the only evidence provided for this word is this page, which also misspells "manuka" as "manuba". I don't believe this can be considered reliable evidence, at least not for names. —VeryRarelyStable 09:11, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

@VeryRarelyStable:The site mentioned is a reliable source, hosted by the New South Wales Government ([1]). However, I think it is likely confusing K. ericoides with Australian endemics, as mentioned in the second paragraph of "Description" in this artticle. The common name "Burgan" was added on 3 July 2009 by an unregistered user, without a reference. Feel free to remove it. (x2) Gderrin (talk) 13:45, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
