Schiedea hookeri
Schiedea hookeri is a rare species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae known by the common names Hooker's schiedea and sprawling schiedea. It is endemic to Hawaii, where it is known only from the island of Oahu. It is thought to have been extirpated from Haleakalā on Maui. It is threatened by the degradation and destruction of its habitat. It was federally listed as an endangered species of the United States in 1996.
This plant is a shrub growing 30 to 50 centimeters long, taking a creeping, sprawling form or a more clumpy form. The oppositely arranged leaves have thin blades up to 8 centimeters long by 1.5 wide. The inflorescence is a hairy, sticky cluster of flowers with small green or purple sepals and no petals.
