Dacrydium guillauminii, commonly known as cat-tail Rimu or swamp Dacrydium,[2] is a species of conifer in the family Podocarpaceae. It is found only in New Caledonia. It is a slow growing shrub or small tree with roots that grow in water, and reaches a height between 1 and 2 metres.[3]
The species occurs on the banks of rivers and lakes in the south of Grand Terre, the largest island of New Caledonia.[3] It is threatened by wildfires and habitat destruction. Its name honors the French botanist André Guillaumin, who spearheaded the study of the flora of New Caledonia.[4][2]
