Abstract Epilobium petraeum Heenan is described as a
new species from mountainous regions of central and north-eastern South Island,
New Zealand. This perennial and entirely glabrous herb had previously been
included in E. crassum Hook.f. It is recognised by a low, spreading and
compact habit, red stems, opposite, dark-green, glossy leaves with the upper
midrib usually red, and papillose seeds with a non-persistent coma.
