The New Zealand endemic and presumed extinct Stellaria elatinoides Hook.f. is shown to be conspecific with the Australian Stellaria multiflora Hook. subsp. multiflora and is treated as a heterotypic synonym. A suite of morphological characters unifies these two taxa, including an annual growth habit, glabrous stems and leaves, sessile leaves, monochasial inflorescences, usually apetalous flowers, short styles and stamens, broadly ellipsoid capsule with valve apices strongly revolute, and the seeds suborbicular and with uniformly-sized prominent tubercles. The biostatus of Stellaria multiflora subsp. multiflora is reviewed and it is treated as indigenous to Australia and New Zealand, and since it was last collected from New Zealand in 1921 its conservation status there is confirmed as extinct.
