Trochetiopsis erythroxylon

Trochetiopsis erythroxylon, commonly known as the St. Helena Redwood is a species of flowering plant in the Malvaceae family. It is now extinct in the wild, but was formerly abundant on Saint Helena in the 17th century, where early settlers used its timber to make homes.

This tree is unrelated to most other plants commonly known as redwoods.

It is in the same genus as Trochetiopsis ebenus (Saint Helena ebony), and a hybrid between both these species, Trochetiopsis × benjaminii is now often planted on Saint Helena.
