Ormosia howii Merr. & Chen

Hainan Ormosia (Ormosia howii)

The Hainan Ormosia is, or rather was, a 10 m tall tree endemic to the island of Hainan, China, that was found only two times, once in 1954 and a second time in 1957, both times in extremely small populations.

The species has not been found since and is very probably extinct now.
