Epipterygium opararense Fife and Shaw, sp. nov. is described and illustrated, based on material from the Oparara River valley in the Nelson Land District of the South Island, New Zealand. The genus Epipterygium is predominantly tropical in distribution, with a centre of diversity in tropical America, and has not previously been recorded in Australasia. The new species is unusual within Epipterygium for having ½ phyllotaxy, which we consider to be an apomorphic condition in the genus. © 1990 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
