Is the cited source saying M. polymorpha is that widely distributed? In Hawai'i, the species has always been regarded as an endemic - Marshman 17:23, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It is endemic; this has been corrected and the Mearnsia species added to the species list. I believe it is more or less complete now, though we seem to be a few short of the widely-cited 26 species in subgenus Metrosideros - KarlM 10:00, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On reading the article, I understood "widely distributed" as meaning "widely distributed within the Hawai'i Islands". Microstrobos (talk) 00:54, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Simpson (2005:35) lists two species for the Solomon Islands: M. salomonensis, which he includes in subgenus Metrosideros; and an 'un-named species' which he includes in Mearnsia.

Metrosideros queenslandicus has been reclassified as Thaleropia queenslandicus, plus several related New Guinea species have been likewise reclassified. I have been unable to establish the exact relationship now believed to exist. Is there a dedicated botanist who can add to the entry. ````
