Brachyglottis huntii
Also called Chatham Island Christmas Tree Rautini
A silvery-leaved shrub or small tree from the Chatham Islands, New Zealand, valued for its bright yellow summer flowers. It needs full sun, moist but well-drained soil, and protection from prolonged drought and heavy shade.
Brachyglottis huntii, commonly called rautini or Chatham Island Christmas tree, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is found only on the Chatham Islands in New Zealand.
Distribution is restricted on Chatham Island in the past century due to grazing threats and habitat destruction. On Pitt Island, it is more widely spread due to lower numbers of grazing or feral stock animals.
