About Lavender Scallops
A succulent subshrub with opposite, evenly spaced, broad obovate lavender-gray leaves and scalloped margins. Small plantlets arise mainly in the marginal notches of damaged or fallen leaves. Hanging flowers have inflated violet-flecked calyces and orange-red corollas with rounded lobes. Established wild occurrence warrants observations of occupied cover, reproductive plants and new recruits. These measurements can test persistence and spread. The reviewed accounts do not quantify an island-wide effect on Kauaʻi native vegetation.
