"South-eastern Australia in Victoria and Tasmania, and New Zealand. On mainland Australia R. demissa occurs only on tablelands and highlands in southern and eastern Victoria, but in Tasmania the species is widespread. Radula demissa grows in cool temperate and warm-temperate rainforests and occasionally in wet sclerophyll forests, particularly in the southern part of its range.
In New Zealand R. demissa occurs throughout all three main islands, and extends east to the Chatham Islands and south to the Auckland and Campbell Islands."
