Costularia cadetii is a perennial herb that grows near the rim of volcanoes in Réunion, which is located to the east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean.[1][2][3][4] It was discovered in 1965 but more evidence was required: it was named Costularia cadetii after its collector, Thérésian Cadet, in 2019. It is also an endangered species because of many factors such as volcanic eruptions, climate change, and fire.
