Sophora macnabiana

Sophora macnabiana is a scientific name derived from Edwardsia macnabiana. The tree previously described of cultivated materials does apply to gardens, with gorgeous flowers, many leaflets and tender pods. Native to Central Chile and Gough Island, it is also spread as an ornamental plant in New Zealand, where it challenges S. tetraptera, the local Big Leaf kōwhai. It is treated by Yakovlev as a subspecies of S. microphylla (New Zealand), latter by Tsoong et Ma only as footnote, as a proper species. P Heenan states that the combination macnabiana would be not valid in the view of Carl Skottsberg, and restated as S.cassioides Sparre (with E cassioides Phil. as basionym)
