Hectorella
Hectorella is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Montiaceae. It is monotypic, being represented by the single species Hectorella caespitosa. It is native to New Zealand. The genus name of "Hectorella" is in honour of James Hector (1834–1907), a Scottish-New Zealand geologist, naturalist and surgeon. The Latin specific epithet of "caespitosa" refers to "caespitose" meaning tufted or turf-like, from "caespes" or Cf. "caespititius". "Hectorella caespitosa" was first described and published in Handb. N. Zeal. Fl. Vol.1 on page 27 in 1864.
