Abutilon pitcairnense

About

Abutilon pitcairnense, the yellow fatu or yellow fautu, is a species of shrub in the family Malvaceae that was native to Pitcairn Island, but is now extinct in the wild. It was once considered extinct, until a single plant was discovered on the island in 2003. At that time, cuttings and seed were used to propagate several plants at a nursery on the island and botanical gardens in Ireland and England. The last wild surviving plant died in a landslide in 2005.
