Argyroxiphium virescens
Argyroxiphium virescens was a species of flowering plant in the aster family. It was found only in the Hawaiian Islands. Its natural habitats were subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland. It is officially declared extinct, but in 1989 plants were discovered that appear to be hybrids between it and the Haleakalā Silversword.[2]
