Dracophyllum recurvum
''Dracophyllum recurvum'' is a prostrate to semi-erect shrub belonging to the genus ''Dracophyllum''. It is distinguishable from other species in the genus by its thin, recurved leaves. ''D. recurvum'' grows in subalpine and alpine environments in the volcanic Central Plateau of the North Island of New Zealand, being especially plentiful on Mount Ruapehu and the other mountains of Tongariro National Park. ''D. recurvum'' is one of the few plant species that can survive the extreme conditions on Ruapehu, due to its wide-spreading root system, which firmly anchors the plant to the thin soil, as well as helping halt erosion on the mountain. ''D. recurvum'' grows up to one metre high at lower altitudes, or down to less than five centimetres at higher altitudes. The plant's branches are covered in a greyish bark, and its leaves vary from dark green at lower altitudes to reds and greys at higher altitudes. Leaves are 10-40 mm in length and usually approximately 2 mm wide. The physical characteristics of ''D. recurvum'' vary greatly with changes in altitude.
