- Nomenclatural Comment
- Based on the Latin durus, ‘strong, tough’, in reference to the hardiness of this species which survives in the harsh environment of the Fiordland mountains. It is also a trait demonstrated by Willy, whose endurance while undertaking collecting expeditions in the Juan Fernandez Islands, New Zealand and elsewhere in the South Pacific is awe-inspiring.
