About
Heliotropium pannifolium, the Saint Helena heliotrope, is now extinct but was formerly a hairy-leaved small shrub. It grew to a height of up to 1 m. It was only seen once, by the explorer W. Burchell in Broad Gut, Saint Helena and has never been seen again. Human impact on the island of Saint Helena was severe and the Saint Helena heliotrope is one of several extinct plants from that island.
