GENUS OVERVIEW / Dracophyllum
Dracophyllum is a genus of plants in the family Ericaceae (heaths and heathers). There are 61 species in the genus, mostly shrubs, but also cushion plants and trees. They are found in New Zealand, Australia, Lord Howe Island and New Caledonia. Although dicotyledonous, they resemble primitive monocots, with their slender leaves concentrated in clumps at the ends of the branches. They are sometimes called grass-trees. New Zealand species are called neinei.
The height varies from 1 cm (0.39 in) (D. minimum) to about 12 m (39 ft) (D. longifolium).
