Montitega dealbata (formerly known as Cyathodes dealbata; Ericaceae) 2:427
When Cyathodes was split into several genera, a couple of species were left as uncertain. However, recent work has shown that these two species, C. dealbata from Tasmania, and C. pumila from New Zealand, should be given a genus of their own. The result is the single species, Montitega dealbata. This is a very common, mat forming plant of alpine areas. Its habit and leaf size make it resemble Pentachondra pumila, but  this species has whitish undersides to the leaves.
