Popis: The taxonomy of the glabrous‐leaved plants ascribed to Pimelea prostrata and P. urvilliana (here each regarded as members of a species complex) is examined. The entities that were originally classed under the names prostrata and urvilliana are identified and the species typified and described. The Pimelea prostrata complex consists of three species: P. prostrata (with four additional new subspecies); and the new species Pimelea orthia (two subspecies) and Pimelea xenica, each from scattered locations in the northern half of the North Island. Pimelea prostrata subsp. prostrata occurs in scattered places in the southern half of the North Island and very widely in the South Island. The other infraspecific units in P. prostrata, each distributed regionally, are subspecies seismica, vulcanica, thermalis, andventosa. Pimelea orthia subsp. orthia is an inland to near coastal plant whereas subsp. protea lives only on coastal dunes. The Pimelea urvilliana complex consists of six species: P. urvilliana sub...
