About Hāhā
A sparsely branched shrub or treelet with white latex, chambered pith and narrow, shallowly scalloped leaves. Racemes carry slender, nearly upright white flowers tinged, striped or suffused purple. Globose ripe berries are purple and contain minute shiny orange-brown seeds. This native shrub is a component of Hawaiian vegetation. Monitoring mature plants, new recruits and occupied cover can assess persistence and replacement. The reviewed accounts do not establish a measured Kauaʻi population trend or quantify an ecosystem effect.
