Abstract
There are four species of Blechnum in the B. procerum complex in New Z ealand: B. procerum and three new species, B. novae-zelandiae, B. mont anum, and B. triangularifolium. All three are distinct from the Austra lian B. minus. The new species are endemic to New Zealand and have bee n known as ''Kiokio'', ''Mountain kiokio'', and ''Green Bay kiokio'', respectively, and variously but inconsistently referred to as B. capen se, B. procerum, B. minor, B. minus, and Lomaria latifolia.
