Leptinella lanata is a small flowering plant in the daisy family, native to the Antipodean Islands.[3] Its specific epithet, lanata, describes its woolly-haired (lanate) rhizomes.[4]
Leptinella lanata is a creeping perennial, monoecious herb.[4]
It is found on the Auckland and Campbell Island and was recently found on Heard Island.[4] It is a coastal species, found on rocks, on cliff tops, on damp exposed peat, in rock crevices and within nesting grounds and seal haul outs.[4]
In both 2009 and 2012 it was deemed to be "At Risk – Naturally Uncommon" under the New Zealand Threat Classification System,[4] and this New Zealand classification was reaffirmed in 2018, due to its restricted range, and with the further comment that it is "data poor".[2]
