• APC Dist.: HI, MI

• distribution: Macquarie I., Heard I.
• remarks: Note that the concept in the Flora of Australia treatment (Gilmore 2006) is broader than the concept of Jolley and Klazenga (2007) that is accepted here. According to Jolley and Klazenga (2007) Breutelia elongata, in Australia, only occurs in Macquarie Island and Heard Island. Reports from continental Australia are all referable to Breutelia pendula.
