Trochetiopsis erythroxylon, the Saint Helena redwood, is a species of plant, now extinct in the wild.

It was formerly abundant enough in the upland parts of the island of Saint Helena for early settlers in the 17th century to use the timber to make their homes.

It became extinct in the 1950s due to deforestation as its habitat was cleared to make way for pasture, timber and fuel.

This species has pendant flowers, petals that turn pink with age, and white staminodes.
