About

Drymoanthus adversus is an orchid species endemic to New Zealand.

Where it grows

Only found in New Zealand where it is endemic, Drymoanthus adversusis widely distributed in New Zealand, ranging from the southernmost Stewart Island to the northernmost Motukokako Island/Piercy Island. Even Chatham Island, a small island far from New Zealand, and its surrounding coastal areas and mountainous highlands are distributed, which is incredible. In the North Island, it is mainly distributed in the southernmost and northernmost peninsula, but its distribution has not been found in various small areas centered around National Park, Waipukurau, and Blairlogie. On the South Island, it is mainly distributed along the west coast, mountains and forests from north to south, while on the east coast, the Canterbury Plain is hardly distributed, but a small number of individuals have been observed in Maungati and Dunedin.
