About Neraudia kauaiensis
A shrub with spreading hairs on the branches and thin pointed elliptic-to-ovate leaves. Smooth leaf margins contrast with densely hairy stalks and grayish-to-greenish hairy undersides. Small male and female flowers differ in stalks and calyx shape. Tiny dry fruits have conical upper portions without a separating constriction. 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.
