Myosotis pottsiana is a rare perennial forget-me-not from the North Island of New Zealand, growing as a rosette with small white flowers. It is known from only a few populations and is not widely grown in gardens.
Myosotis pottsiana is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae, endemic to the North Island of New Zealand. Lucy Moore described Myosotis petiolata var. pottsiana in 1961. Plants of this species of forget-me-not are perennial rosettes with ebracteate inflorescences and white corollas with exserted stamens.
Although once thought to be extinct, Myosotis pottsiana is known from a handful of populations in Bay of Plenty, North Island, New Zealand from 40 to 300 m ASL, on vertical rock walls, steep river banks and forest bluffs.
