The type locality of "P. kirkii" is Great Barrier Island. It was first described by Joseph Dalton Hooker from material collected by Thomas Kirk, published in 1869. The initial brief description titled "Pittosporum n. sp.?" by Thomas Kirk was published in his paper on Great Barrier Island in 1868. This description along with herbarium specimens were sent to Dr. J. D Hooker at Kew Gardens in 1868, and he collaborated to name it after T. Kirk, by giving it the specific epithet "kirkii" within the publication that was otherwise written by Kirk.

Vol. 2 No. 2, pp. 99-102 "In the references to the history of the agricultural literature of the United States, The American Farmer, the first number of which was published in Baltimore on April 2, 1819, is quite generally given the honor of being the first agricultural periodical published in the United States. It is without doubt rightfully considered the great precursor of our present agricultural periodical press, but there was another little known agricultural periodical which actually preceded The American Farmer by nearly nine years and which, it is believed, is entitled to the distinction of being the first agricultural journal published in this country. The name of it was The Agricultural Museum, and the first number appeared on July 4, 1810. Its place of publication was Georgetown in the District of Columbia, or "George- town, Ca." as it is given on the publication. It was printed by W. A. Rind. The editor of the periodical was Rev.

Publication bias Publication bias is a type of bias that occurs in published academic research. It occurs when the outcome of an experiment or research study influences the decision whether to publish or otherwise distribute it. Publication bias matters because literature reviews regarding support for a hypothesis can be biased if the original literature is contaminated by publication bias. Publishing only results that show a significant finding disturbs the balance of findings.
