About

Ornduffia calthifolia, also known as mountain villarsia, is a species of plant in the Menyanthaceae family of wetland plants that is endemic to Western Australia.

Where it grows

The species only occurs in the granite peaks, outcrops and drainage lines of the Porongurup Range, in the Jarrah Forest IBRA bioregion of Southwest Australia, mainly above an altitude of 400 m. There the plants occupy moist, shady positions in rock crevices and beneath overhangs. The soils are shallow sandy loams, containing accumulated organic material, that have water percolating through them in winter.
