Trochetiopsis ebenus

Trochetiopsis ebenus, commonly known as the Saint Helena ebony, is a species of flowering plant in the Malvaceae family. It is endemic to Saint Helena in the Atlantic Ocean. It is not related to the original ebony (Diospyros sp.). It is now critically endangered in the wild, being reduced to only two wild individuals on a cliff, but old roots are sometimes found washed out of eroding slopes, which relicts on the species' former abundance. They are collected on the island and used in inlay work, which is an important craft on Saint Helena. Trochetiopsis melanoxylon, a related species, is now completely extinct.

It is simple to propagate from cuttings, and many gardens on the island boast a fine ebony bush. The species is related to the Saint Helena redwood (Trochetiopsis erythroxylon), and a hybrid between them (Trochetiopsis × benjaminii) has now been planted on Saint Helena.
