Toromiro tree  (Sophora toromiro)

Once endemic to Easter Island (Rap Nui) in the South Pacific; possibly the remotest area of inhabited land on the planet (2). The native habitat of the island has been all but destroyed and this tree only persists in cultivation in a handful of botanic gardens and private collections around the world (2).

The original habitat of Easter Island is thought to have been low scrub and woodland with palm thicket (3).
