Name

[edit]

The article says "They were named by the New Zealand Geographic Board in 1994 after Keble Martin, a New Zealand botanist who surveyed plants of New Zealand and the sub-Antarctic" but Keble Martin was a British parson-botanist and does not seem to have any connexion to either New Zealand or Antarctica.

Hmm, having checked with the New Zealand Gazetteer it was "Named after Keble (1877-1969), a New Zealand botanist, taught by Hooker Jun, who surveyed plants of NZ and the sub-Antarctic". DuncanHill (talk) 23:14, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
