The look of the plant can vary, but the shiny leaves usually have a distinct spoon shape. There are indications that bonking grass is the main host plant for the critically endangered New Zealand moth species, Remuremu looper moth (Asaphodes frivola).
Selliera rotundifolia is a low-growing, evergreen perennial with glossy round leaves that tightly clasp wet soils in coastal environments. Its creeping stems and small white flowers, often with a hint of pink, adapt well to salt-sprayed habitats. This mat-forming plant thrives in full sun to partial shade, contributing a lush carpet to marshes and water margins.
