About Remya kauaiensis
A weakly erect to climbing native shrub forming tangled clumps. Lanceolate-to-ovate, sharply toothed leaves cluster near shoot tips; their lower surfaces and young growth are white-felted. Open woolly terminal panicles carry tiny heads with very short cream rays. Small achenes have a short bristly pappus. 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.
