Gackstroemia weindorferi, commonly called lacewort, is a small leafy liverwort (a non-flowering moss-like plant) that grows mainly on tree trunks and rotting logs in wet forests of southeastern Australia and New Zealand. It is not a typical garden or houseplant and needs constant moisture and shade to thrive.
Gackstroemia weindorferi, commonly lacewort is a species of leafy liverwort in the family Lepidolaenaceae, native to wet forests and temperate rainforests in southeastern Australia and New Zealand. It grows primarily as an epiphyte on tree trunks and decaying wood in moist forest environments.
Gackstroemia weindorferi occurs in New Zealand and in the southeastern Australian states of Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania. In Victoria, it is particularly associated with forested regions such as Gippsland, the Yarra Ranges and the Otway Ranges and also occurs in sheltered, wet sites in alpine or montane environments. In New Zealand Gackstroemia weindorferi has been observed on Stewart Island, the South Island and at high altitude (1200-1280 m) on the North Island.
