Althenia bilocularis is a plant found in both Australia and New Zealand,[3] in fresh to brackish waters. In Australia it is found in all mainland states with the exception of the Northern Territory.[4] In New Zealand it is found on the North, South and Chatham Islands.[5]
Taxonomy
It was first described as Lepilaena bilocularis by Thomas Kirk in 1896.[1][6] It was transferred to the genus, Althenia, in 1927 by Leonard Cockayne.[1][2] This change by Cockayne is supported by DNA analyses.[7]
