Cultural Use/Importance
The type of Notothlaspi australe var. stellatum Kirk is apparently missing. From the description it is not clear how this variety differs from the type variety. For this reason NZPCN do not accept this entity and prefer to regard it as insertae sedis.

australe: Southern, from the Latin australis
