    I photographed this little creature today at Omokoroa, near Tauranga. The flower is about 1 cm in length and the plant a ground-hugger. No way can I identify it, all suggestions welcome.

    Hi John, do you possibly have any pictures of the leaves of this specimen, it looks like a Viola spp. at this stage.

    It looks like a pale form of Viola odorata. The foliage should be a giveaway.

    Here is the foliage. I'm still baffled.

    Ah, technology

    Hi John Roy - I'm no exotic species expert, but that does indeed look like Viola foliage to me.
