Guinea Mistletoe (Agelanthus guineensis)
This species, described in 1997, is, or was, restricted to the forests in northern Guinea in West Africa; it is apparently known only from the type material which was collected in 1956.
The species was never found since the collection of the type and is believed to be extinct.
