		Some time ago I saw a picture of Gunnera in your garden and by the looks of it I thought it may be tinctoria (going by one that I had seen at Heronswood Nursery).
		almost all the gunnera at the park are the "standard" gunnera chilensis/tinctoria---there is only one clump of g.
		in my experience, the most common gunnera in the trade is tinctoria/chilensis---like many nursery plants confused naming is common---manicata will end up with bigger and flatter leaves (under ideal conditions) with out the "frilled" margins of the chilean species.

		We are currently trying to assess the weed potential of Gunnera manicata in New Zealand.
		Gunnera tinctoria is already widespread and behaving badly (and in fact is not allowed to be propagated, distributed, or sold), but we have no real evidence that G. manicata will also be a problem.
		Gunnera has been promoted as dramatic garden plant, so in future, the less widely distributed G. manicata is likely to be used as an alternative to G. tinctoria, because they look very similar.
