Scalesia pedunculata is a flowering plant species in the family Asteraceae, found in dense stands on the humid windward coasts of the islands of Santa Cruz, San Cristobal, Santiago and Floreana in the Galapagos Islands. It is regarded as vulnerable due to human encroachment, invasive species, and grazing by introduced goats. Charles Darwin first collected specimens of this species from Santiago Island in 1835 and it was later named by his friend Joseph Dalton Hooker. It takes 15 years for the tree to mature and entire woodlands collapse when stressed by drought or excessive rain. The first documented collapse of Scalesia forest occurred between 1935 and 1940, with the cause still not being clear. It grows best at an altitude between 400 – 700 m, a zone which is almost always shrouded in fog, with rain being uncommon. Epiphytes grow on the trunks and branches, with the drops eventually trickling down to ground level and the soil below.
