"Wahlenbergia roxburghii" (Roxburgh bellflower or dwarf cabbage tree) is an extinct member of four species of "Wahlenbergia" once known from the island of St Helena, in the South Atlantic Ocean. It was last seen by naturalist John Charles Melliss in 1872.

It is an example of one the early extinctions of St. Helena plants as a result of human activity, with a history similar to that of the stringwood ("Acalypha rubrinervis"), (see List of extinct plants).
