''Cylindrocline lorencei'' is a small tree that was native to the island of Mauritius, with only one specimen ever observed in the wild. By 1990 the species was considered extinct, and the only available seed could not be germinated. Brest Botanic Gardens successfully performed ''in vitro'' culture of a viable part of the seed embryo, saving the plant from extinction. Through further vegetative propagation at Brest and Kew Botanic Gardens, a small population of ''Cylindrocline lorencei'' has been grown and efforts are now underway to re-establish it in its native habitat.〔"Rescued by Brest Botanic Gardens by rescuing embryos in vitro from non- viable seeds." (【引用サイトリンク】title=Plants back from the brink of extinction at Kew Gardens )〕 ==Description== ''Cylindrocline lorencei'' is a small tree growing up to high, with branches in the upper part that are densely covered in leaves in terminal rosettes. Leaves are olive-green colored with yellow-green veins, grow in spirals, and are attached directly to the stem or with a very short petiole. The oblanceolate shaped leaf is long and wide, with fine hairs on the upper surface and heavily covered with fine hairs underneath.〔
