Dracophyllum × Vulcanicum
''Dracophyllum'' is a genus of plants belonging to the family Ericaceae, formerly Epacridaceae. There are 61 species in the genus, mostly shrubs, but also cushion plants and trees, found in New Zealand, Australia, Lord Howe Island and New Caledonia. The name ''Dracophyllum'', meaning dragon-leaf, refers to their strong outward similarity to the unrelated '' Dracaena'', sometimes known as dragon tree. 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. The height varies from one centimetre ('' D. minimum'') to about 12 metres ('' D. longifolium''). Species The following species are recognised by ''The Plant List'': *''Dracophyllum acerosum'' Berggr. *''Dracophyllum adamsii'' Petrie *''Dracophyllum alticola'' Däniker *''Dracophyllum arboreum'' Cockayne * ''Dracophyllum'' × ''arcuatum'' W.R.B.Oliv. *''Dracophyllum balansae'' Virot *''Dracophyllum cosmelioides ...

Dracophyllum Arboreum
''Dracophyllum arboreum'', commonly known as Chatham Island grass tree and tarahinau (Moriori), is a species of tree in the heath family Ericaceae. Endemic to the Chatham Islands of New Zealand, it reaches a height of and has leaves that differ between the juvenile and adult forms. ''D. arboreum'' has wide light green leaves in its juvenile form, which become thin needles as it gains maturity. Flowering occurs from November through to February, yielding small white flowers which later become tiny brown fruit. It inhabits many different types of vegetation communities from near sea level to , including swamps, cliffs, bogs, and shrublands. It has a range restricted to three Islands some east of New Zealand: the Chatham, Pitt, and Rangatira Islands. It was first described by the British botanist Joseph Hooker in 1864 as a variety of the species '' D. latifolium,'' but was first given the status as a species itself in 1902 by the New Zealand botanist Leonard Cockayne.
