Ormosia howii, the Hainan ormosia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae native to southern China . It was initially found on Diaoluo Shan, Hainan Island in 1954 and then in Yangchun, Guangdong in 1957, both times in extremely small populations.[2] The species is now apparently extinct.[1] It was a small tree, 10 metres (33 ft) high, growing in open forests on mountain slopes.[3]
