Widdringtonia whytei (Mulanje Cypress) is a species of Widdringtonia native to Malawi where it is endemic to the Mulanje Massif at altitudes of 1830-2550 m. It has become endangered as a result of over-harvesting for its wood and an increase in the frequency of wildfires due to human activity.It was formerly often called Mulanje Cedar but has been renamed Mulanje Cypress to better reflect its botanical relationships.
