Zostera novazelandica is a marine seagrass (not a land plant) found on New Zealand's shores, where it grows in shallow coastal waters. Its key requirement is clear, sheltered, nutrient-rich seawater with sandy or muddy sediment; it is not grown as a garden or houseplant.
Zostera novazelandica Setchell is a species of seagrass in the family Zosteraceae found on the shores of New Zealand. It is regarded as a distinct species by some authors but considered as a synonym of Zostera muelleri Irmisch ex Ascherson by others. The Maori names for Zostera novazelandica are karepō, nana, rehia, and rimurehia.
