Na Pohaku o Hauwahine plants - Family Convolvulaceae

Native Plants at the
Nā Pōhaku o Hauwahine Restoration Project

Family CLUSIACEAE

Calophyllum inophyllum

Kamani

NOTES: Many young trees were planted initially, but few survived their first dry season. This one (left) planted on Pu‘u Pōhaku did survive and has grown rapidly where once stood a Java plum. Despite the somewhat unlikely location, this tree was first noted flowering in early 2008 and by late 2009 was producing much fruit.
Population: 3

Family CONVOLVULACEAE

Pa`uohi`iaka (EBG) Jacquemontia ovalifolia var. sandwicensis

Pā‘ū o Hi‘iaka

NOTES: Persists, spreading by vegetative growth; sometimes seeding. Dies out if shaded by shrubs or trees. This species is our most prolific ground cover in open areas at Nā Pōhaku o Hauwahine, surviving the dry season then spreading rapidly in the wet season. No gray-green (hairy) forms occur naturally; those that have been planted, tend to die out over time.
Population: TNTC
