For the mountain range, see Raukūmara Range

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. It has small yellow flowers and bright green serrated leaves.

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.

Raukūmara has been classified as near threatened under the IUCN system. Habitat loss is a significant factor. However, mature plants can survive in pasture as they do not appear to be browsed by livestock.
