About Lysimachia iniki
A woody shrub with hanging hairy green branches and closely spaced, nearly round, upward-cupped leathery leaves with heart-shaped bases. Solitary funnel flowers have six or seven lobes, white above and dark red below, with red staminal filaments. Small rounded capsules contain irregular dark-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.
