Endemic. Found in the North Island and upper half of the South Island. A small herbaceous plant with long, narrow leaves perfect for under storey plantings in the toughest to grow areas.
Rengarenga is easily distinguished by its tufts of soft drooping leaves and a fleshy horizontal stem (rhizome). With its lovely clumps of grey-green, slightly curved strappy leaves and tiny white flowers that appear high above the foliage from late spring to early summer, it provides a lovely soft alternative to those hard to grow areas in the garden. Arthropodium bifurcatumis less prone to snail and slug damage and is also in decline in the wild.
