Description

Key Characters:

Growth Form: Shrubs or trees, 4–5 m tall, terrestrial.

Stems: Stems branched repeatedly, spreading, light gray or light brown, glabrous or rarely pubescent, with numerous helically arranged leaf scars near apex, pith solid, latex white, viscous.

Roots:

Leaves: Leaves simple. Alternate. Blades oblanceolate or oblong, 9–20 cm long, 2.5–5.5 cm wide. Apex obtuse. Base cuneate or attenuate. Upper surfaces glabrous; lower surfaces glabrous or minutely muricate on the veins; lamina coriaceous; upper surfaces dark green; lower surfaces pale green. Margins callose–crenulate. Petioles 1–6 cm long, muricate. Stipules absent.

Flowers: Flowers in inflorescences 2–flowered or often 1–flowered by abortion, muricate; peduncle 0.5–1 cm long, spreading, bibracteate at apex; pedicels 3–5 cm long, spreading, bibracteolate at base. Flowers bisexual (perfect), epigynous, zygomorphic, resupinate, protandrous. Hypanthium 1.4–1.9 cm long, 1.4–1.9 cm in diameter, obconic or obovoid, muricate. Calyx lobes 3–9 mm long, 3–5 mm wide, triangular, shallowly triangular, or deltate, muricate; apex obtuse or acute. Corolla 5–7 cm long, bilabiate, dark rose, muricate; tube suberect, 1–2 cm long, 1.2–1.8 cm in diameter; lobes thick, fleshy, the dorsal two 3.8–5.2 cm long, 3–5 cm wide, suberect, the ventral three 2–3 cm long, 3–5 mm wide, spreading. Stamens 5, syngenesious, alternate with the corolla lobes, staminal column somewhat exserted, suberect or curved; anthers connate, dithecal, opening introrsely by longitudinal slits, dark purple, the 3 dorsal ones a little longer than the 2 ventral ones, the latter with tufts of stiff white trichomes at apex, otherwise glabrous, or sometimes pubescent along the sutures, rarely so on the surfaces, the tube 1.5–2 cm long, 5.5–7.5 mm in diameter, glabrous or sparingly pubescent; filaments connate above, free from the corolla, 4.1–5.8 cm long, magenta, glabrous. Pollen tricolporate, prolate, ellipsoidal. Ovary inferior, 2-carpellate, 2-loculed; ovule placentation axile, placentae large; style slender, terete (cylindrical), with a ring of stiff white hairs near apex; stigma 2-lobed, the lobes appressed and non–receptive as the style grows through the anther tube, pushing out pollen, after which the stigmas spread and become receptive.

Fruit: Berries unknown; presumably muricate. Seeds numerous; tiny; dark brown or black; minutely foveate–reticulate; shiny; with a straight; short to spatulate dicotyledonous embryo embedded in oily endosperm.

Ploidy:

Habitat: Windward slopes of Haleakalā; montane rain forests and cloud forests.
