Brachyglottis perdicioides, commonly known as raukūmara, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is endemic to New Zealand.
Brachyglottis perdicioides is a shrub with thin branches that grows up to two metres tall. [2] It has small yellow flowers and bright green serrated leaves. [3]
Raukūmara is found only on the North Island of New Zealand, around the East Coast and Māhia Peninsula. It grows in coastal shrubland and forest but is tolerant of a range of a wide range of habitats. [3]
Raukūmara has been classified as near threatened under the IUCN system. [1] Habitat loss is a significant factor. However, mature plants can survive in pasture as they do not appear to be browsed by livestock. [3]
