Herpolirion novae-zelandiae is a common native species found in subalpine and alpine sites in the central and northern mountains of Tasmania. The plants are small, with a tuft of leaves usually about 2-4cm long and a few mm wide.  A single blue flower is held on a short stalk above the leaves. They form mats in boggy places.
