Lilaeopsis novea-zealandiae comes (as the name indicates) from New Zealand, and has characteristic, completely circular leaves. There is some confusion about its name, and it has been sold as Lileaopsis brasiliensis, which is a South American species. The plant will probably be given a third name, L. ruthiana.
