HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Otago (pronounced oh-tah-goh, with emphasis on the middle syllable) is a large region in the southern part of New Zealand. It was a phonetic interpretation of the dialectical pronunciation by contemporary local Maori in the 1840s of the name of a prominent coastal settlement which, under standardised spelling, is now known on maps as Otakou.

Almost exactly half of the references for ‘Otago’ call the pollen parent ‘Minuette’ and half call it 'Minuetto'.
On the flimsy research of reading the references and noting that ‘Otago’ sounds like ‘Minuetto’ (also a mini and orange red); plus the fact that McGredy used ‘Minuetto’ four years later in his ‘Benson & Hedges Special’, I have therefore changed the pollen parent of ‘Otago’ from Minuette (floribunda, Lammerts 1969) to ‘Minuetto’ (mini. Meilland 1971)
