Pritchardia remota
Pritchardia remota, the Nihoa pritchardia, Nihoa fan palm, or Loulu, is a species of palm endemic on the island of Nihoa, Hawaii, and later transplanted to the island of Laysan. It is a smaller tree than most other species of "Pritchardia", typically reaching only tall and with a trunk diameter of . It is the only type of tree on the island and used to be abundant. In 1885 a wildfire ravaged the island, destroying most of the palms. Only about 700 of these trees remain, making the species endangered but numbers are slowly increasing. The palm is being cultivated in botanical gardens.

Though it is impossible to mistake "P. remota" for any other species in its natural habitat, it can be discerned from other "Pritchardia" species by its wavy leaves, its short and hairless inflorescences, and its tiny, spherical fruits.

A similar undescribed species existed on Laysan, but was made extinct after Laysan was mined for guano.
