Nomenclatural Comment
The species epithet meaning small-capsuled is not particularly appropriate relative to the species’ N.Z. congeners. The capsules, however, are very inconspicuous given their position on the ventral surface of stems., Type: “Insulae Australes”, possibly J. Banks. Type neither seen nor designated; see comments below.
