Widdringtonia whytei
''Widdringtonia whytei'', the Mulanje cypress, is a species of ''Widdringtonia'' native to Malawi, where it is endemic to the Mulanje Massif at altitudes of 1,830-2,550 m. It has become endangered as a result of over-harvesting for its wood, and an increase in the frequency of wildfires due to human activity.〔Conifer Specialist Group 1998. (''Widdringtonia whytei'' ).

It was formerly often called "Mulanje cedar" but has been renamed Mulanje cypress to better reflect its botanical relationships.〔University of the Witwatersrand: (Recommended English names for trees of Southern Africa )〕
