Asterella drummondii is a liverwort in the family Aytoniaceae,[2][3] which was first described as Fimbraria drummondii by Taylor in 1846, from material collected by Ronald Gunn in Tasmania, and James Drummond (for whom it is named) in Western Australia from the Swan River.[2][4] It is found in all states of Australia,[5] in semi-arid areas.[6]
