flower near Franz Josef Glacier, NZ

not sure whether foliage is in the photo.

 

euphrasia?

maybe scrophulariaceae or orobanchaceae

 

yes, same general appearance though this one has 5 distinct lobes while Euphrasia et al. appear to have split lobes. It was along a trail, so couldn't tell if it was a native or came in on someone's boot...

 

Lobelia angulata? or something like that?

 

Searching Lobelia led me to Mazus radicans, which has a striking resemblance to my flower if one ignores 5 lower petal lobes versus 2 in Mazus.

 

Identified by a NZ botanist as Mazus radicans with an unusual flower.

Can we see more pictures of this plant? -- stem, leaves.

 

unfortunately, I took only that one photo.
