Abstract A new species, Dracophyllum mackeeanum,
is described and illustrated. D. mackeeanum is similar to D.
ramosum, but differs in growth habit and leaf, inflorescence, and
flower characters. The new species has a restricted distribution, so
far only known from the upper Tontouta, Thio, and Dumbèa valleys
in New Caledonia. A key to the New Caledonian species of Dracophyllum
is provided.
