Wikstroemia hanalei Wawra

Hanalei Wikstroemia (Wikstroemia hanalei)  

The Hanalei Wikstroemia was endemic to the island of Kaua’i, Hawaiian Islands, where it apparently was restricted to the Hanalei-, the Ho’olulu-, the Molo’a-, and the Wai’oli Valleys in the northern part of the island.  

The species appears to be known only from the type that was collected in 1897, it was not subsequently found again and is considered extinct.
