Myosotis amabilis is a rare forget-me-not, a perennial rosette herb endemic to the North Island of New Zealand, known mainly from Mt Hikurangi near East Cape. It is seldom collected and has not been relocated in recent surveys, so little is known about cultivation.
Myosotis amabilis is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae, endemic to New Zealand. Thomas Cheeseman described the species in 1906 based on specimens collected at Mt Hikurangi. Plants of this species of forget-me-not are perennial rosettes with ebracteate inflorescences and white corollas with stamens that are exserted.
Myosotis amabilis is a forget-me-not originally collected from Mt Hikurangi, East Cape, North Island, New Zealand, and may nr endemic to this area. Very few herbarium specimens of this species have been collected. Some specimens collected in Hawkes Bay (North Island) and even on the South Island have been variously identified as M. amabilis or M. saxosa, and the two species require taxonomic revision. Recent efforts to relocate plants of M. amabilis on Mt Hikurangi and elsewhere have been unsuccessful.
