About Lysimachia scopulensis
A branching shrub with red-to-green stems and firm, nearly succulent alternate leaves. The narrow spoon-like blades have internal glands and tips that curve backward. Solitary red bell flowers usually have six broad lobes. 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.
