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 was our most prolific ground cover in open areas, surviving the dry season then spreading rapidly in the wet season. These areas ov dense cover have now disappeared (typically either shaded by shrubs or covered by pili. However, pā‘ū o Hi‘iaka persists much like it occurs elsewhere in nature: as isolated strands in open areas between other plants. No gray-green (hairy) forms occur naturally at Nā Pōhaku o Hauwahine; those that have been planted, tend not to persist.
Population: TNTC
