minutiflora G.Simpson & J.S.Thomson Myosotis brevis is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae, endemic to New Zealand.

minutiflora in 1942, and Peter de Lange and John Barkla recognized it at species rank in 2010, as M. brevis.

Plants of this species of forget-me-not are small and annual, with a prostrate habit, bracteate inflorescences, tiny white corollas, and brown or green leaves.

Myosotis brevis de Lange & Barkla is in the plant family Boraginaceae, was originally described as M. pygmaea var.

Thomson, and was later recognized at species rank by Peter de Lange and John Barkla, as M. brevis, in 2010.

The corolla is white or cream, or sometimes pale blue or blue-striped, up to 2 mm in diameter, with a cylindrical tube, and small yellow scales alternating with the petals.

[13] In a study analyzing microsatellite markers developed specifically for the pygmy subgroup of southern hemisphere Myosotis, all (or most) populations of M. brevis cluster together in the different analyses.

M. brevis is found in herb fields, turfs and gravels of coastal cliffs, platforms and beaches on the North Island; at the edges of seasonally inundated tarn edges in Canterbury; and in exposed, dry to seasonally moist alpine fellfield, pasture or turf in Otago.
