Distribution

Endemic to New Zealand. Known from a single location in Kahurangi National Park, north-west Nelson (South Island). Detailed geographic coordinates are not shown to protect this species from illegal collection but are available from the author on request. It is likely Myosotis mooreana also occurs at two other sites within the Park (Shannel Courtney, personal communication) but this cannot be confirmed at this stage.
