Osmoxylon mariannense is a rare species of tree in the family Araliaceae. It is endemic to Rota, one of the Northern Mariana Islands.[1] A 2002 survey found only eight mature trees remaining on the island.[3] A resident of the commonwealth, the tree is federally listed as an endangered species of the United States.
