"The absence of Phormium pollen from fossilised pollen recently collected on Norfolk Island suggested to researchers that flax had been introduced to Norfolk Island by Polynesian settlers and should therefore not be regarded as native or indigenous. The lack of any recorded distribution of Phormium on Phillip Island before 1967 and its distribution there in 1978 provide evidence reinforcing this conclusion."
