Schiedea implexa (Hillebr.) Sherff

Auwahi Schiedea (Schiedea implexa)

The Auwahi Schiedea is endemic to the island of Maui, Hawaiian Islands.

The species is known from only two populations and was last recorded in 1910, however, it appears to have been entirely restricted to vertical cliffs, and might thus in fact still exist somewhere.
