Peucedanum sandwicense is a member of the carrot family (Apiaceae) and is native to the Hawaiian archipelago. It occurs on four islands: Maui, Molokai, Kauai, and Oahu. The plant faces significant threats from invasive species, both plant and animal, which have contributed to its decline. Conservation efforts are in place due to its status as a federally threatened species in the United States. The species was first described in 1888 by Hillebr.
