Dracophyllum lessonianum
Dracophyllum lessonianum is a species of tree or shrub in the heath family Ericaceae. It is endemic to the northern North Island of New Zealand. It occurs as far south as Kopuatai Peat Dome and Kawhia Harbour, but is very uncommon south of about Dargaville and Whangārei.
D. lessonianum usually grows in gumland scrub or on peat, and sometimes in the upper parts of salt marsh. It has no vernacular name that is used commonly in either English or Māori. Both Dracophyllum lessonianum and Dracophyllum sinclairii have been called gumland grass tree, but this is a contrived name.
