McGlone, M.S.; Duncan, R.P.; Heenan, P.B. 2001. Endemism, species selection and the origin and distribution of the vascular plant flora of New Zealand. Journal of Biogeography 28: 199-216.

This paper evaluates competing views on the origin and distribution of New Zealand's vascular plant flora, concluding that ecological traits such as species dispersal capabilities and habitat requirements have played a key role in the formation of the flora and in shaping the geographic patterns of disjunction and endemism within New Zealand.
