Tree is a very rare endemic tree in Hawaii. This tree was discovered in 1860, at which time there were only three remaining specimens could be found. This tree has proven difficult to breed, and in 1950, after the recent death of seedlings, the tree was thought to be extinct. In 1970 the only surviving tree was found, which unfortunately was destroyed in a fire in 1978. Luckily one of the remaining branches of the tree can be saved and successfully transplanted, and now there are 23 existing trees, which are all located in various places in Hawaii. This tree is a small tree that grows to about 10-11 meters high. The most striking of these trees are hundreds of bright red flowers that mature trees are produced each year. Unfortunately, because of its rarity, few people are allowed to see it.
