Dracophyllum ramosum is a shrub or small tree in the heath family, endemic to New Caledonia, found on mountain summits, slopes, plateaux and streamsides. It is a rarely grown plant outside its native range, so care guidance is general and best matched to cool, mild conditions.
Dracophyllum ramosum is a species of shrub or small tree in the family Ericaceae and is endemic to New Caledonia. It was first described by Adolphe-Théodore Brongniart and Jean Antoine Arthur Gris in 1864 and gets the specific epithet ramosum for the fact that many of its branches grow from the same place. It inhabits the summits and slopes of mountains, alongside streams, and on plateaux; it reaches a height of 0.5–5 m (1 ft 8 in – 16 ft 5 in).
