Tetramolopium capillare (Gaud.) St. John

Taxonomy & Nomenclature

Conservation Status

Missing (Wood et al., 2019:14) or Rediscovered (Humphreys et al., 2019)

Last record: early 1990's (Oppenheimer & Pezzillo, 2024:57); 2001 (USFWS, 2016); 2006 (Wood et al., 2019:14)

The species was reported as rediscovered based upon a specimen collected on Maui on 16 September 1993 (Herbst & Wagner, 1996:10), likely on the basis of its geographical origin (Oppenheimer & Pezzillo, 2024:57), but this specimen has since been re-identified as T. filiforme as a new island record (Oppenheimer & Pezzillo, 2024:57).
