Zostera capricorni is a marine seagrass (eelgrass), not a land plant, that grows submerged in shallow coastal sediments of Australia, New Guinea and New Zealand. It needs calm, sheltered, clear water with enough light to reach the seabed.
Zostera capricorni is a species of eelgrass in the Zosteraceae family. It is native to the seacoasts of New Guinea, Australia (Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia), Norfolk Island and the North Island of New Zealand. It was first discovered at Moreton Bay in Queensland in 1875.
