DiagnosisUnfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers.

CommentNaultinus manukanus apparently forms a cline with populations of N. rudis.

Thus, this may be a case of "speciation in progress". 
EtymologyNamed after “habitat”, manuka scrub, from the Manuka plant, Leptospermum scoparium.
