Description
Libertia flaccidifolia consists of closely bunched leaves that arise from rhizomes. The species has broad, flaccid leaves, and has white and yellow flowers that appear between September and November. The species can be distinguished from L. ixioides and L. grandiflora due to the leaves being significantly more flaccid, or due to its distinct flower shape.
Range & habitat
The species is endemic to New Zealand. Originally thought to be endemic to Mount Tamahunga, further specimens of the plan have been found across the northern Rodney area of the Auckland Region, New Zealand. L. flaccidifolia is one of the few plants endemic to the Auckland Region. The species is typically found in mixed forest or shrubland 300 m (980 ft) above sea level or higher, along ridge lines or clay banks.
