I am studying a rare endemic Myosotis (forget-me-not) species here in 
New Zealand.  I want to get an idea of how many species of Myosotis 
there are in the world - I have been quoted estimates in the range of 50 
-100!  I have read articles that state NZ has 'over half the worlds 
total' of Myosotis species.  Unfortunately the estimates of how many we 
have in NZ alone range from 32- 49!
I would appreciate any thoughts on the topic!
Thanks
