Current conservation status
The conservation status of the New Zealand hornwort and liverwort flora is reassessed using the New Zealand Threat Classification System (NZTCS). A full list is presented, along with a statistical summary and brief notes on the most important changes. This list replaces all previous NZTCS lists for New Zealand hornworts and liverworts which previously had been part of a generic bryophyte conservation status assessment that included mosses.

Category
Non-vascular
Structural class
Liverworts
Distribution
Indigenous. Australia and New Zealand. In New Zealand known from the North, South and Chatham Islands.
Habitat
Poorly drained substrates within gumland scrub and pakihi. Also frequent in mainly high moor peat bogs where at times it can be the dominant vegetation.
Substrate details
Poorly drained clay and sandy soils overlying iron pans, and in peat bogs (especially those dominated by restiads)
Threats
Habitat loss - drainage of peat bogs and conversion of gumland and pakihi into farmland or hosuing sites. This species respondes well to frequent fires and soon vanishes as vegetation gets taller
