Myosotis monroi is a naturally uncommon plant in New Zealand. Its name means "mouse-eared" and it is more commonly known as Monro's forget me not.

Conservation[]
Not threatened. This species qualifies as Range Restricted because it is a narrow range, ultramafic endemic. It is locally common within its only known habitats on Red Hills, Wairau Valley, and at Dun Mountain which, due to the substrate toxicity, are largely, naturally free of weeds.[1]
