Ruppia megacarpa is a submerged herb species in the genus Ruppia found in shallow brackish waters. It is a common on Australasian coasts, including Australia (NSW; SA; Vic; WA and New Zealand (type locality).[2] Isolated populations have been currently found in East Asia, including Japan, Korea, and Far East Russia,[3][4] hence, the species distribution exhibit latitudinally disjunct (antitropical) distribution between East Asia and Australasia.
