Stenogyne angustifolia

Stenogyne angustifolia is a rare species of flowering plant in the mint family known by the common name narrowleaf stenogyne. [2] It is endemic to Hawaii, where it is known from the island of Hawaii; it has been extirpated from the islands of Molokai and Maui. [1]

This species was formerly divided into several varieties. In 1979 var. angustifolia was federally listed as an endangered species of the United States. [3] None of the varieties are considered valid today; the species has no subtaxa. [4] The species as a whole retains the federal status given to var. angustifolia. [1]

This is a trailing vine with hairy magenta to yellow flowers. The leaves have tiny teeth along the edges. The fruit is somewhat spherical in shape and purple-black in color. [4] This plant grows in forests and shrublands on lava substrates on Hawaii. Most all of the plants are located within the Pohakuloa Training Area. The plants are threatened by fire, feral pigs and other ungulates, and introduced species of plants. [1]

<i>Cenchrus agrimonioides</i> Species of grass

Cenchrus agrimonioides is a rare species of grass in the family Poaceae that is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Its common names include Kāmanomano and agrimony sandbur. It was formerly distributed throughout the major islands but today it is nearly limited to Oʻahu. Kāmanomano inhabits dry to moist forests and lava plains. It is threatened by competition with non-native plants, predation by ungulates, and wildfire. When this plant became a federally listed endangered species of the United States in 1996 there were fewer than 100 individuals remaining. More recent counts revealed 181 wild individuals on Oʻahu and over 300 more which have been planted to augment the populations. This plant is nearly restricted to the island of Oʻahu, but there are a few individuals known on Maui. A few patches of the grass have been planted on Kahoʻolawe, as well.

<i>Escobaria sneedii</i> Species of cactus

Escobaria sneedii is a rare species of cactus known by the common names Sneed's pincushion cactus and carpet foxtail cactus. It is native to the Chihuahuan Desert, where it occurs in scattered locations in New Mexico, Texas, and Chihuahua. Some plants occurring in Arizona may be included within this species. Botanical authors do not necessarily agree on the circumscription of this species. Most will agree at this point in the research, however, that there are two varieties of Escobaria sneedii, and that both are rare and endangered. The plant is popular with cactus enthusiasts and dealers because of its often petite size and tolerance for moderately cold climates. They have been overharvested from their natural habitat, the main reason why the two varieties, var. sneedii and var. leei, have been federally listed as endangered and threatened, respectively.
