Myrsine knudsenii, also known as the Kokee colicwood, is a species of tree that belongs to the primrose family. It is found exclusively on the island of Kauai in Hawaii and is facing the threat of habitat loss. This shrub or tree can reach a height of 4.5 meters and produces flowers in clusters along its branches. It typically grows in moist forests alongside other dominant species such as Acacia koa, Metrosideros polymorpha, and Dicranopteris linearis. While it may have once been found in other types of ecosystems, there are currently only three populations of this tree left, with a total of approximately 30 trees. Due to its critically low numbers, it was listed as an endangered species by the United States government in 2010.
