Family MALVACEAE
		Abutilon incanum Ma`o, hoary abutilon NOTES: Spreads very slowly. Good growth early in wet season, but this is offset by powdery mildew that causes most leaves to drop, but plant survives and refoliates.
		Abutilon menziesii Ko`oloa `ula NOTE: Subject to attack by rose beetles in the dry season and powdery mildew in the wet season. May not be suited to climate/soils at Nā Pōhaku o Hauwahine. Population: 1 (12/07)
