Description

Key Characters:

Growth Form: Tree or shrubs 3–10(–13?) m tall with milky sap and pale–colored bark.

Stems: Branches short and stiff, striate, the leaf scars conspicuous, Leaf axils with pectinate glands divided into 5–12 linear lobes.

Roots:

Leaves: Leaves simple. Whorled 3–5 per node. Blades narrowly elliptic, sometimes broadly elliptic, rarely oblanceolate or narrowly obovate, 6–16(–22) cm long, (1.5–)2.5–6(–6.5) cm wide. Apex acute, rarely retuse or rounded. Surfaces glabrous. Margins entire. Petioles 1.5–4.5 cm long. Stipules (small and deciduous) together with persistent glands in the leaf axils.

Flowers: Flowers in compound cymes, these at first terminal but soon becoming lateral. Peduncles 1–6 cm long, pedicels 0.5–2 mm long, bracts lanceolate to ocate, 3 mm long. Flowers bisexual (perfect). Calyx campanulate, 5-lobed, the lobes imbricate; broadly ovate, 1–8(–10) mm long; margins pale and conspicuously erose. Corolla salverform, the tube 3–10 mm long, the lobes with a pale green center, 1–3 mm long, conspicuously erose. Stamens 5, inserted on the corolla tube opposite the lobes. Ovary superior, 2, distinct to variously connate; ovules 1–2 per ovary; style filiform; stigma subtended by a narrow ring of hairs.

Fruit: Drupes bilobed; green; becoming purplish black at maturity; obcordate; rarely 1 of the lobes aborted; ca. 8–16 mm long; ca. 6–20 mm wide. Seeds 1 per ovary; strongly flattened; ca. 1 cm long; 0.5 cm wide.

Ploidy: 2n = 44*

Habitat: Primarily occurring on ridges; slopes and in gulches in mesic forest; but also scattered in relatively low elevation; open; remnant dry forest or dry shrubland; Lantana thickets; and rarely in open margins of low elevation wet forest; also on lava flows.

Elevation Range: 100–55(–800) m.

Uses and Culture

USES

  • Little & Skomen (1989:280) state that the wood was "not used by the Hawaiians for fuel because the smoke was thought to be poisonous, nor for charcoal because it burned completely to ashes. It was however, considered a good wood for construction". Yet Malo states: "..hao and others…are "no doubt" used for fuel (Malo 1951:22–23). Hao often found at heiau, thought by some to have religious significance (Lamb 1980:118).

PROPAGATION/CULTIVATION

  • Easy. Germination occurs in 4 weeks or more, seedling growth is rapid (5 cm/month); once it reaches 20-30 cm tall it should be outplanted (Culliney and Koebele 1999:59–61).
