Nomenclatural Comment
The species epithet commemorates the collector of the type, Richard Helms (1842–1914). German-born Helms was a remarkably talented naturalist of broad interests who collected widely in Australia and N.Z. He was resident in Greymouth in the 1870s and 1880s and collected extensively in the Greymouth area, including the Paparoa Range. As well as plants, he collected invertebrates, and a number of N.Z. beetles and molluscs are named in his honour.
