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.[1][2][3] DescriptionCylindrocline lorencei is a small tree growing up to {{convert|2|m|ft|abbr=on}} 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 {{convert|12|to|18|cm|in|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|4.5|to|5.5|cm|in|abbr=on}} wide, with fine hairs on the upper surface and heavily covered with fine hairs underneath.[1][4]Distribution and habitatThe original specimen of Cylindrocline lorencei grew at {{convert|700|m|ft|abbr=on}} elevation in Black River Gorges National Park in a region called the Plaine Champagne. The habitat is lower elevation ericoid shrubland, and the plant was found growing along with Helichrysum, in laterite soil.[1] ConservationThe material for the type specimen was collected in 1973 by botanist David H. Lorence, who observed only one plant in the Plaine Champagne area. Fruit collected in 1980 confirmed the survival of the plant up to that time. Due to the death of that plant, the species was considered to be extinct in the wild as of 1990, even though the IUCN Red List for 1997 still classified it as Endangered—probably because they were unaware of the death of the single plant. Several plants have been propagated and are growing at the Native Plant Propagation Centre at Curepipe in Mauritius. If those plants survive, attempts will be made to reestablish the plant in its native habitat in Black River Gorges National Park. Brest Botanic Gardens and Kew Botanic Gardens also continue to grow populations of the plant.[1][2] Notes1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://www.kew.org/plants-fungi/Cylindrocline-lorencei.htm|title=Cylindrocline lorencei|last=Magdalena|first=Carlos|author2=Nicholas Hind|work=Kew Plants & Fungi|publisher=Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew|accessdate=28 October 2010}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.cbnbrest.fr/site/html/International/plante_mencacees.html|title=Actions internationales: les plantes menacees|publisher=Conservatoire botanique national de Brest|language=French|accessdate=28 October 2010}} 3. ^"Rescued by Brest Botanic Gardens by rescuing embryos in vitro from non-viable seeds." {{cite web|url=http://www.kew.org/ucm/groups/public/documents/document/ppcont_016024.pdf|title=Plants back from the brink of extinction at Kew Gardens|publisher=Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew|accessdate=28 October 2010}} 4. ^{{Cite journal|last=Scott|first=Andrew|date=1987|title=A second species of Cylindrocline (Compositae-Inuleae)|jstor=4109712|journal=Kew Bulletin|volume=42|pages=476}} External links
