Lectotypification of three species of forget-me-nots (Myosotis: Boraginaceae) from Australasia: Tuhinga 23

Tuhinga 23: 17-28

ABSTRACT: Lectotypes for the names of one Australasian and two New Zealand native forget-me-nots are selected: Myosotis australis R.Br., M. forsteri Lehm. and M. goyenii Petrie, respectively. The collection of the type material of M. forsteri by J.R. and G. Forster at Dusky Bay (South Island, New Zealand), and not in Australia, is further supported. Images of all three lectotypes are included.
