GipP, EGU, HSF, MonT, VAlp. Endemic to the gorge tract of the Snowy River, from near McKillops Bridge downstream to near Buchan, also at Little River Gorge. Grows in coarse sand, usually amongst river rocks, and on lower slopes of clifflines.
Plants formerly suspected of being hybrids between P. aspera and P. oblongifolia from near the confluence of the Buchan and Snowy Rivers have since been named P. buchanensis.
