Schiedea verticillata, also known as the Devils Slide schiedea or Nihoa carnation, is an endangered plant species found only on the island of Nihoa in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. It was first discovered in 1923 and has been listed as endangered since 1996. The plant has long stems and fleshy mint-colored leaves, and its flowers have ten stamens and 4-5 styles. During the dry season, the plant dies back to its perennial roots. Despite its small population of less than 400 individuals, the species has remained stable. The pollination process of this plant is still unknown. However, it has been found that the Nihoa carnation has a high genetic diversity, which helps it avoid inbreeding and survive in its harsh environment. This is in contrast to another endangered plant species on Nihoa, Amaranthus brownii, which faces the threat of inbreeding due to its low genetic diversity.
