The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) determines endangered species status pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), for the plant Delissea undulata (No Common Name). This species is known in the wild from only a single individual, located on the island of Hawaii. The greatest immediate threats to the survival of this species are habitat degradation and predation by domestic and feral mammals, fire, and competition with alien plants. The small population size of one individual with its limited gene pool also comprises a serious threat to this species. This rule implements the protection provisions provided by the Act for this species.
