Dracophyllum pronum is a low, sprawling New Zealand shrub from the South Island, growing flat to the ground in mountain country. It is a rock-garden or alpine-style plant that needs cool, open conditions and very good drainage.
Dracophyllum pronum, commonly known as trailing neinei, is a species of sprawling shrub endemic to the South Island of New Zealand. It was first described by Walter Oliver in 1928 and gets the specific epithet pronum for its prostrate growth habit. In the heath family Ericaceae, it inhabits montane and subalpine areas and reaches a height of 1–25 cm (0.4–9.8 in).
