CORRECT !!
Nearly 90% of the plant species,
found in Hawai`i are endemic to that region. This means that they
occur nowhere else in the world!
Shark tail cyanea (Cyanea pinnatifida)
is endemic to O`ahu. The single population known to remain consists
of only one individual. This taxon is listed as endangered by the
federal government. Shark tail cyanea is a shrub, usually unbranched,
that grows on steep, wet, rocky slopes in shady ravines.
