Tetramolopium capillare is a rare species of flowering plant in the aster family known by the common name pamakani.[1] It is endemic to Hawaii, where it is known only from the island of Maui. There are four occurrences for a total of fewer than 200 individuals. It is threatened by the degradation of its habitat caused by introduced plant species. It is a federally listed endangered species of the United States.[2]
This plant is a spreading shrub growing up to about 80 centimeters long and bearing solitary flower heads. It grows in shrubland and chaparral habitat, often on slopes and ridges.[2]
