species
Simplicia felix
The epithet ‘felix’ is taken from the Latin for ‘lucky’ (N.G. Walsh, MEL pers comm., 14 January 2016) as in ‘lucky find’ in reference to the circumstances of this species’ discovery; that came about through the desire to get a name on an unremarkable little tuft of grass that was discovered fortuitously near Mangaweka, Central North Island by CCO on 29 January 2005 (Ogle 2010).
