This article is a list of biological species, subspecies, and evolutionary significant units that are known to have become extinct during the Holocene, the current geologic epoch, ordered by their known or approximate date of disappearance from oldest to most recent.
Ormosia cruenta is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae. It is found in Panama and Costa Rica.
Ormosia is a genus of legumes. The more than 100 living species, mostly trees or large shrubs, are distributed throughout the tropical regions of the world, some extending into temperate zones, especially in East Asia. A few species are threatened by habitat destruction, while the Hainan Ormosia is probably extinct already.
Ormosia gracilis is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae. It is a tree endemic to Peninsular Malaysia. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Ormosia grandistipulata is a species of tree or shrub in the family Fabaceae. It is endemic to Peninsular Malaysia. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Ormosia hosiei is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae.
Ormosia howii, the Hainan ormosia, is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae native to southern China. It was initially found on Diaoluo Shan, Hainan Island in 1954 and then in Yangchun, Guangdong in 1957, both times in extremely small populations. The species is now apparently extinct. It was a small tree, 10 metres (33 ft) high, growing in open forests on mountain slopes.
Ormosia jamaicensis is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae. It is found only in Jamaica.
Ormosia panamensis, commonly known as coronil or sur espino, is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae. It is found in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, and Panama.
Olearia polita is a species of flowering plant in the aster family. It is found only in New Zealand.
Mandarina luhuana is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Camaenidae. This species is endemic to Japan.
Platythelphusa is a genus of freshwater crabs endemic to Lake Tanganyika. It has been placed in a number of families, including a monotypic family, Platythelphusidae, as well as Potamidae and its current position in the Potamonautidae, and has also been treated as a subgenus of Potamonautes. It forms a monophyletic group, possibly nested within the genus Potamonautes, which would therefore be paraphyletic. The genus is the only evolutionary radiation of crabs to have occurred in a freshwater lake, and it occurred recently, probably since the Pliocene. This parallels the better known radiation of cichlid fishes in Lake Tanganyika. Only one other species of freshwater crab is found in Lake Tanganyika, Potamonautes platynotus.
Syzygium politum is a species of plant in the family Myrtaceae. It is endemic to Peninsular Malaysia.
The Pondoland fig is a species of fig that is endemic to forests of coastal South Africa, where it is threatened by habitat loss.
Helicia is a genus of 110 species of trees and shrubs, constituting part of the plant family Proteaceae. They grow naturally in rainforests throughout tropical South and Southeast Asia, including India, Sri Lanka, Indochina, Peninsular Malaysia to New Guinea and as far south as New South Wales.
Ilex polita is a species of plant in the family Aquifoliaceae. It is endemic to Venezuela.
Micropholis polita is a species of plant in the family Sapotaceae. It is endemic to Cuba, but threatened by habitat loss.
Swartzia panacoco, known as panococo or Brazilian ebony, is a tree of the bean family, growing in Guyana, South America. Its wood is hard and durable. The heartwood ranges from an olive brown to a near black color and can have lighter or darker markings that are sharply separated from the sapwood, which is lighter and yellow in appearance.
