List of extinct plants of New Zealand:

  • Araucaria haastii - known from fossils of the Cretaceous period, best preserved of several extinct New Zealand Araucaria species
  • Banksia novae-zelandiae - known only from fossil records
  • Chiloglottis formicifera (ant orchid) - extinct in New Zealand but found overseas[1]
  • Leptinella filiformis - extinct in the wild[2]

Four plants have been listed as extinct beyond doubt since 1840:[3]

  • Lepidium obtusatum
  • Logania depressa
  • Stellaria elatinoides
  • Trilepidea adamsii

Two species are thought to be extinct but there may be insufficient data to make an assessment:[2]

  • Myosotis traversii var.cinerascens
  • Pseudognaphalium (one species)

The New Zealand Botanical Society describe additional species as being extinct:[4]

  • Muellerina celastroides - extinct in New Zealand but found overseas
