If you're looking for them outside of Texas, you might want to start with contacting local botanists or nearby universities. However, if you happen to be in Austin, feel free to send us an email, we'd be happy to sell you one assuming they're still in stock!
A note on our experience growing them: They seem to be fairly susceptible to spider mites.

Good that my plant can't read then ;) I read that growers in Holland selected the ones which grow best here and called it "var. Kirsten" (I saw this is also here on Dave's Garden but I think they both have pale yellow flowers, the onest with white flowers I think are Rockii so I think it's not correct here). I wonder if this is so sprightly because it's a "Kirsten" perhaps, or if it's due to the 70W CMH grow light I have (which actually is aiming at the palms next to it but half of the Hawaii palm is illuminated).
Next year I'll give it some more artificial light. Buds may well have been triggered by decline in light (and temp) since I only had my lamps a few weeks, and after the first flower a few buds started to abort, then I moved it further into the light, since then no abortions.
A bit tricky watering it when flowering since it drinks twice as much and can droop considerably in the afternoon if sunny, but I use a moisture meter to make sure I don't water until just slightly moist (when not flowering I usually wait until almost completely dry, like 9 days in september).

Brighamia insignis is an endemic Hawaiian plant that is endangered along with Brighamia rockii which is also a Hawaiian endemic plant. Th...Read Morereats to B. insignis have been determined to be human disturbance, browsing and habitat degradation by feral goats, fire and the Carmine spider mite. In addition, invasive introduced plant species' competition has taken its toll. Landslides or hurricanes and other natuaral occurring events have contributed to this plant's demise as well.
The Vulcan palm is moth-impollinated. The
pollinator moth is the green sphinx moth and it was thought
to be extint. The insects do not visit the plant anymore, so
the scientist have to pollinate them one by one. There are something like less then ten plants left on the wild. They are doing a lot of a work trying to save the plant (and, I hope, the moth itself, if it's not extint as they thought).
I would say that *nobody* should dig them up or gahter
seeds in Hawaii or anywhere else. Somebody might be trying to see if other moths can pollinate the plant. It's ok to
*buy* the plant. Doing so you're helping to save the
plant.
The natural habitat of the Älula is on the sea cliffs of Moloka'i, the Nä Pali coast of Kaua'i, and the dry shrubland and mesic forest of Ni'ihau.

It is a native of that island on the high cliffs overlooking the northwestern side of the island. Now, amazing to me, it is becoming common in cultivation and the last succulent meeting I attended there were lots of these available for a reasonable price. And even more amazing to me is it seems to do well here in So Cal even in pretty cold weather. It does lose its leaves then, but as long as not overwatered, it doesn't rot. I looks a lot like a spineless Pachypodium.
