Supplementary remarks:
I cannot find a Burns Creek and a Mt Burns near each other. I suspect this locality is in Otago as it is a John Child collection, but it may not be. There are Mt Burns in Southland in Fiordland 45.745102S,167.407521E and near Mt Cook in Canterbury or Westland 43.745518S,169.984078E, and Burns Creek in Otago near Swampy Summit 45.788592S,170.507656E, and near Moana in Westland 42.530094S,171.621837E.
However, there is a Mt. Burn and a Burn Creek in Nelson in Nelson Lakes National Park, 42.172951S,172.489909E
