species
Lepidium oblitum
The epithet “oblitum” from the Latin meaning “forgotten, disregarded or neglected” refers to the circumstances in which this species was first discovered. At an early stage of this revision L. oblitum had been included within the range of Lepidium panniforme, with some plants treated as possible hybrids between L. panniforme and L. oleraceum. It was only following critical analysis of plants grown in New Zealand from samples collected from Mangere Island that the distinctive nature of this species was realized using DNA and morphological data.
Holotype: Chatham Is., Mangere Island, Mangere Island Nature Reserve, South of Hut Landing, 14 February 2006, P.J. de Lange CH876 & P.B. Heenan, AK 300342! Isotypes: CHR 552303A-C!
