Melicope paniculata, the Lihue melicope,[2] is a rare species of tree in the family Rutaceae. It is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Like other Hawaiian Melicope, this species is known as alani.[3]
This tree was until recently thought to be extinct.[1] It was rediscovered in 1997.[4] In 2010 there were an estimated 500 individuals remaining and it was added to the endangered species list of the United States.[3]
The tree is endemic to the island of Kauai, where it grows in wet forest habitat.[3]
