Dracaena fernaldii, synonym Pleomele fernaldii,[1] is a species of flowering plant that is endemic to the island of Lānaʻi in Hawaiʻi. It is known by the common name Lanai hala pepe.[2] It can be found in dry forests at elevations of 490–670 metres (1,610–2,200 ft).[3] It is threatened by habitat loss. 400-1000 of these plants remain in the wild, but little recruitment has been observed in the past 10 years. The reasons for the lack of recruitment are unclear.
This is a federally listed endangered species of the United States.[4]
