Abstract  Gratiola pedunculata (Scrophulariaceae), an Australian species, is recorded for the first time from the far north of New Zealand. A description (based on New Zealand material) of the species is provided and the name lectotypified. The species is considered to be an addition to the indigenous flora of New Zealand. The conservation status of the species is discussed, and a revised key to New Zealand species of Gratiola is presented.
