Archidium elatum is a species of moss in the family Archidiaceae. It is native to New Zealand, where it occurs on the North Island and Chatham Island, and Australia , where it can be found in Queensland and New South Wales.[1]
This moss grows on wet basalt and other coastal rock formations. In some areas it is associated with Campylopus introflexus, Ceratodon purpureus, Disphyma australe, and Astelia banksii.[1]
This moss was thought to be endemic to New Zealand but it has recently been found in Australia.[1] In New Zealand it is listed as a 'Nationally Vulnerable' species under the New Zealand Threat Classification System.[2]
