Raoulia bryoides is a species of sessile plant from New Zealand. [2] [1] [3] [4] [5]
A small flowering plant with gray leaves and yellow to off-white flowers. Raoulia byroides grows as if it were a moss - a prostrate, sessile growth that hugs the ground. That's one of the reasons it is named bryoides, too.
New Zealand, only in the South Island in montane areas. [3]
Montane, alpine, and subalpine habitats. [3]
This plant often grows in communities near Raoulia grandiflora and Haastia pulvinaris .
bryoides means 'moss-like' in Latin. [1]
