Argyroxiphium virescens was a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It was[when?] found only in the Hawaiian Islands. Its natural habitats were subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland. It is officially declared extinct, but in 1989 plants were discovered that appear to be hybrids between it and the Haleakalā Silversword.[2]
