Distribution and habitat
Degelia neozelandica is most widely found in New Zealand, on both Macquarie and South Islands, but has also been found in a single alpine locality in Tasmania, Australia.[3]
It grows on fine sandy soil in subalpine and alpine grasslands in altitudes of between 900 and 1,800 metres (2,950 and 5,910 feet).[5]
