Stenogyne bifida

Stenogyne bifida is a rare species of flowering plant in the mint family known by the common name twocleft stenogyne. [2] It is endemic to Hawaii, where it is known only from the island of Molokai. In 2010, there was only a single individual remaining in the wild; this is a seedling. [3] It is a federally listed endangered species of the United States.

This plant is a climbing, trailing perennial vine. It produces yellow-green to brownish flowers. [1] It grows in disturbed forest habitat dominated by Metrosideros polymorpha . The area has a large population of feral pigs that damage the habitat. The plant also faces competition from introduced plant species such as molasses grass, holly fern, thimbleberry and Christmasberry. [3]
