Distribution and habitat
Historically the species was present in several locations on Isla Más a Tierra (Robinson Crusoe Island), specifically Quebrada Rabanal, Cerro Central, Cordón Salsipuedes and Quebrada Villagra (Johow 1896), Camote up to Cerro Chumacera (Skottsberg 1922). It also occurred on the summit of El Yunque Hill (Skottsberg 1952) where it was associated with Drimys confertifolia, Myrceugenia fernandeziana and the tree fern Dicksonia berteroana. Between 1982 and 2004 it was only known from a single individual growing in Quebrada de Villagra. In 2004, 174 years after its discovery, Danton describes the last plant had been attacked by rodents, destroying its bark. Subsequently this last surviving individual died and the species was declared extinct (Danton & Pierrer 2005). No individuals survive ex situ!
