Dactylanthus was once widely distributed throughout the North Island and fossil pollen indicates that it also used to occur in the South Island. Now, however, it is known mainly from small areas of secondary forest in the centre of the North Island between East Cape and Wanganui, and on Little Barrier Island. It has not been seen in Northland, Coromandel or near Wellington for over 60 years.
