Dracophyllum longifolium (J.R.Forst. & G.Forst.) R.Br. ex Roemer & Schult.

Shrub or tree up to c. 12 m. tall with trunk up to 4 dm. diam., but us. smaller without distinct trunk. Branches and branchlets us. slender, erect or spreading. Lvs stiff, us. crowded towards tips of branchlets; sheath ± 15 × 10 mm., pale, passing by rounded to truncate, sts auricled shoulder into lamina ± 10-25 cm. × 3-5 mm., rigid, coriac., slightly rounded on dorsal surface, sts ± pubescent above, tapering to long acuminate apex; margins entire to minutely serrulate. Infl. of erect to drooping 6-15-fld racemes 4-5 cm. long, terminal on branchlets. Bracts caducous, lower long, lflike. Sepals persistent, ovate-lanceolate, acute, ciliate, c. = corolla-tube. Corolla subcampanulate, tube ± 5 mm. long, lobes ovate-triangular, inflexed at tips; anthers included or barely exserted. Capsule ± 4-5 mm. long.
Oliver (loc. cit. 1952, 11) says: "The typical variety is a rather slender tree with long and broad juvenile leaves and long adult leaves which, along the shores of the Fiordland Sounds and in Stewart Island, hang downwards on slender branchlets." He gives lf-measurements with the range: adults 14-23 cm. × 2-4 mm., juveniles 16-24 cm. × 6-10 mm. The distribution is given as: S. Mount Arthur southwards. My measurements of lvs from adults in the Nelson area gave the range: sheaths 9-10 × 3-5 mm., mostly truncate and ± auricled; lamina 6·5-10 cm. × 1 mm.
