An extreme example of this is Monanthotaxis capea, which formerly was harvested for its aromatic leaves for a trade from Côte d'Ivoire to Ghana but is now extinct in the wild after the forest reserve in which it occurred was declassified and cleared for agriculture.

Title: Composition of the volatile constituents of the aerial parts of an endemic plant of Ivory Coast, Monanthotaxis capea (E.G. & A. Camus) Verdc. Personal Authors: Mevy, J. P., Bessiere, J.

Editors: No editors Document Title: Flavour and Fragrance Journal
Abstract:
Both essential oils and solvent extracts of leaves, stems and fruits of Monanthotaxis capea were studied by GC and GC-MS. The main constituents identified in the different organs studied were phenylbutane derivatives in range of 97-57%. While (E)-4-phenylbut-3-en-2-ol was shown as the main component of the hydrodistillates, the parent ester (E)-4-phenylbut-3-en-2-yl acetate was shown as the major compound of the solvent extracts. Thus some of the phenylbutane derivatives in the hydrodistillates of the aerial parts of Monanthotaxis capea would appear to be artifacts.
