Contents

Azorella schizeilema is a species of cushion plant in the Apiaceae family, native to the Auckland and Campbell Islands. [3]

If flowers from November to February, and fruits from November to March. [5]

Taxonomy

Azorella schizeilema was described as Pozoa reniformis by Joseph Dalton Hooker in 1844, [6] and illustrated in the accompanying 1852 volume by Walter Hood Fitch. [1] Then, in 1908, Karel Domin reassigned it to the genus, Schizeilema . [3] [7] In 2017, G.M.Plunkett & A.N.Nicolas assigned it to the genus, Azorella , in an attempt to create a monophyletic genus. [4]

Conservation status

In 2009 and 2012, it was declared "At Risk - Naturally Uncommon" under the New Zealand Threat Classification System. [5] In 2018 its status remained as "At Risk - Naturally Uncommon" due to its restricted range. [2]
