Geranium arboreum (Hawaiian red-flowered geranium)

Synonyms: Neurophyllodes arboreum (homotypic)

Wikipedia Abstract

Geranium arboreum is a rare species of geranium known by the common names Hawaiian red-flowered geranium and Hawaii red cranesbill. It is endemic to Hawaii, where it is known only from the island of Maui. It was federally listed as an endangered species in 1992. Like other Hawaiian geraniums, this plant is known as hinahina and nohoanu. This plant grows in gulches on the slopes of the volcano Haleakalā. There are no more than 500 individuals left. The main threat to this species is the degradation of its habitat by grazing cattle, feral pigs, and non-native plant species invading the area.
