Lepidothamnus laxifolius, commonly known as the pygmy pine or mountain rimu, is a species of conifer in the family Podocarpaceae. It is endemic to New Zealand, where it is found in the North Island, the South Island and on Stewart Island. It is a high alpine specialist found in high-altitude bog communities and in scrub, often in association with Halocarpus bidwillii and Podocarpus nivalis. It has a scrambling prostrate habit and plants as little as 8 cm in height have been observed in fruit. Its cones are red and fleshy, and borne terminally on the horizontal branches. It is believed to be the smallest conifer in the world and is rarely bigger than a small low-growing shrub. Taxonomically, it is separated from other podocarps by its distinctive cone morphology, the absence of resin ducts in the leaves, and the synthesis of cupressuflavone as its major biflavonoid.
