Abstract In a recent phylogenetic study of DNA
sequence data Neopaxia was shown to be nested in Montia,
but the necessary new combinations in Montia were not made. The
endemic New Zealand species of Neopaxia are formally
transferred to Montia with the appropriate new combinations. A
new name, M. angustifolia, is required for the species
previously known as N. lineariifolia as that epithet is
pre-occupied in Montia.
