Nomenclatural Comment: Allan 1961 treats this species under Calystegia tuguriorum (page 837): C. truncatella Col. in T.N.Z.I. 21, 1889, 95. After a detailed description of specimens collected on "Banks of streamlets and edges of woods, Seventy-mile Bush, south of Dannevirke, County of Waipawa; 1887-88: W.C.", Colenso remarks: "This plant is nearly allied to C. tuguriorum Forst., but differs . . . in several characters, the more striking being its much larger size and spreading climbing habit, its differently shaped leaves ["undulate, sub-orbicular-cordate"] with their remarkable truncated bases and broad basal lobes, its double row of large calycine bracts, round-topped sepals, obtuse anthers, large globular capsule ["5 lines long, 4-5 lines diameter"], and big red seeds ["1/6 in. long"]."
