Melicope reflexa, also known as the reflexed pelea or lava melicope, is a flowering plant that belongs to the Rutaceae family. It is native to Hawaii and can only be found on the island of Molokai. This species, like other Hawaiian Melicope, is referred to as alani. It is considered an endangered species by the United States government and is only found in four locations on Molokai. With a height of 1 to 3 meters, it thrives in wet forest environments. However, its population is estimated to be less than 1000 due to the destruction of its habitat by feral ungulates and invasive plant species.
