About Kadua foggiana
A diffuse, sprawling or climbing subshrub with widely spaced leathery, pointed elliptic-to-ovate leaves and prominent net veins below. Broad branching flower systems bear green-to-yellow-green corolla lobes and usually reddish-purple tubes. Small, deeply grooved paired-looking capsules contain compressed dark-brown angular seeds with a small basal wing. 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.
