  • Cheeseman, T. F. 1906. Manual of the New Zealand Flora. Wellington; pp. 640 to 644 refer toNothofagus (asFagus).

  • Cheeseman, T. F. 1925. Manual of the New Zealand Flora, ed. 2. Wellington; on pp. 373, 374 is a brief account of hybridism inNothofagus byL. Cockayne. Cheeseman speaks of hybridism in this genus as “a remarkable fact”.

  • Cockayne, L. 1909. Report on a Botanical Survey of Stewart Island. Wellington; pp. 33, 34 deal with the question of presence or absence of species in certain localities.

  • Cockayne, L. 1921. The Southern-beech (Nothofagus) Forests of New Zealand. N. Z. Journ. Agric. 23 p. 353–360; tells of the discovery of extensive hybrydism inNothofagus and illustrates many of the juvenile forms.

  • Cockayne, L. 1923. Hybridism in the New Zealand Flora. New Phytol. 22 p. 105–127; on p. 124 threeNothofagus hybrids are cited, butN. Solandri×truncata is not mentioned, since at that time the latter species was considered a variety ofN. fusca and its hybrids were included with those ofN. fusca, though really the last-named is negligible as a parent of a group virtually identical with ×N. soltrunc.

  • Lotsy, J. P. 1925. Evolution considered in the Light of Hybridization. Christchurch; besides containing much pertinent to natural hybrids byLotsy, there is a full list contributed byL. Cockayne of New Zealand wild hybrids, the number being estimated at 208, but since then a good many more have been discovered; fiveNothofagus hybrids are cited as valid.
