Trithuria inconspicua is a tiny aquatic herb from New Zealand, found in coastal dune lakes and glacial lakes, where it grows partly buried in mud, sand or gravel in shallow water. It is a wild species with no established garden cultivation, so care is mainly a matter of recreating its lake-bottom conditions.
