16-45 2 16.7 Taxon Summary: Cyanea grimesiana subsp. obatae 4 Photographer: J. Obata 6 Scientific name: Cyanea grimesiana Gaud. subsp. obatae (St. John) Lammers Hawaiian name: Haha, ohawai 8 Family: Campanulaceae (Bellflower family) Federal status: Listed endangered 10 Description and biology: Cyanea grimesiana subsp. obatae is a shrub 1-3.2 m (3.3-10.5 ft) tall, 12 and is either single-stemmed or sparingly branched. The leaves are pinnately divided, measure 27-58 cm (11-23 in) long, and are clustered towards the tips of the stems. The six to 12 flowered 14 inflorescences are borne among the leaves. The corollas are curved, usually yellowish white, and measure 55-80 mm (2.2-3.2 in) long. The berries are orange at maturity, and measure 18-30 16 mm (0.7-1.2 in) long. 18 As with other Cyaneas with their long tubular flowers, this taxon is thought to have been pollinated by nectar-feeding birds. It is capable of self-pollination, evidenced by the fact that 20 isolated plants produce viable seeds. The taxon’s orange berries are indicative of seed dispersal by fruit-eating birds. Cyanea grimesiana subsp. obatae presumably lives for less than 10 years 22 like other Cyaneas of its size, and is thus a short-lived taxon for the purposes of the Implementation Plan. 24 Known distribution: Until the 1990s, C. grimesiana subsp. obatae was known only from the 26 southern Waianae Mountains. It is now also known to occur in the Mokuleia region of the northern Waianae Mountains. It ranges from 550-670 m (1,800-2,200 ft) in elevation. 28 Final DACA83-96-D-0007/0055 Implementation Plan for Makua Military Reservation, Island of Oahu Chapter 16.7 Taxon Summary: Cyanea grimesiana subsp. obatae 16-46 Population trends: Most of the C. grimesiana subsp. obatae population units have not been 30 known for very long, but those that have been tracked for at least 15 or 20 years have either died out or have declined markedly. 32 Current status: There are a total of about 50 individuals of C. grimesiana subsp. obatae. The 34 Makua action area contains 13 of the plants. The current population units of C. grimesiana subsp. obatae are listed in Table 16.19 and their sites are plotted on Map 16.11. All of them are 36 proposed for management for stability. Their sites are characterized in Table 16.20 and threats to the plants at these sites are identified in Table 16.21. 38 Habitat: Cyanea grimesiana subsp. obatae grows in mesic forests, usually in shady locations in 40 gulch bottoms or on gulch slopes. The plants often grow on steep to vertical embankments consisting of rock or a mix of rock and soil. 42 Taxonomic background: Cyanea grimesiana includes one subspecies in addition to subsp. 44 obatae, namely subsp. grimesiana, which has been recorded primarily in the Koolau Mountains of Oahu, but which has also been found in the northern and central Waianae Mountains and on 46 Molokai. The two subspecies are distinguished by the size and shape of their calyx lobes. Certain Cyanea populations on Molokai, Maui, Lanai, and Hawaii formerly included in C. 48 grimesiana have recently been recognized as constituting three separate species (Lammers 1998). 50 Outplanting considerations: Cyaneas and Cyanea relatives potentially occurring with or near 52 C. grimesiana subsp. obatae are C. longiflora, C. superba subsp. superba, C. angustifolia, C. membranacea, C. calycina, C. acuminata, the Delisseas D. subcordata and D. sinuata, and the 54 Clermontias C. persicifolia, C. oblongifolia, C. kakeana, and C. fauriei (Lau pers. comm. 2000). It is common to find several Cyanea species and Cyanea relatives growing together, yet 56 to date there is no good evidence of hybridization between Cyanea taxa or between a Cyanea and a Cyanea relative. Consequently, concerns with respect to the possibility of inadvertently 58 allowing unnatural hybridization to occur through the outplanting of C. grimesiana subsp. obatae are minimal. 60 Both C. grimesiana subsp. obatae and C. grimesiana subsp. grimesiana have been recorded in 62 the northern and central Waianae Mountains. Although no subsp. grimesiana is known to be extant in the Waianae Mountains, there remains a chance that plants still survive there. It is 64 unclear what the relationship was between the two subspecies with respect to distribution and genetics. In any case, prior to establishing outplanting sites for C. grimesiana subsp. obatae the 66 potential area should be well searched for both subspecies. 68 Threats: Major threats to C. grimesiana subsp. obatae include feral pigs and goats. These ungulates degrade the taxon's habitat and harm the plants through feeding on them, trampling 70 them, or uprooting them when rooting for food. Alien plants threaten the C. grimesiana subsp. obatae by altering the taxon’s habitat and competing with it for sunlight, moisture, nutrients, and 72 growing space. Also, the spread of highly flammable alien grasses increases the incidence and destructiveness of wildfires. Rats pose a threat to the species through their predation of plant Final DACA83-96-D-0007/0055 Implementation Plan for Makua Military Reservation, Island of Oahu Chapter 16.7 Taxon Summary: Cyanea grimesiana subsp. obatae 16-47 74 parts and fruits. Introduced slugs and snails threaten the species by feeding on its leaves, stems, and seedlings. 76 The long-billed, nectar-feeding native Hawaiian birds, which are the presumed pollinators of C. 78 grimesiana subsp. obatae, have been almost totally eliminated from the Waianae Mountains. Although the taxon is capable of selfing, the loss of its normal pollinating vectors is likely to 80 result in decreases in the genetic variability within its populations over successive generations. 82 The small number of individuals of C. grimesiana subsp. obatae remaining could potentially lead to inbreeding depression in the taxon's naturally-occurring or reintroduced populations. If 84 inbreeding depression in these populations is indicated, experiments on the ramifications of mixing the taxon's different stocks should be conducted. 86 88 Table 16.19 Current Population Units of Cyanea grimesiana subsp. obatae.

    Notes on Hawaiian Lobelioideae, with Descriptions of New Species and Varieties

    v [From BULLETIN OF THE TORREY BOTANICAL CLUB. 44: 229-239.Pls. <rIb. 19 May 191 7.] Notes on Hawaiian Lobelioideae, with descriptions of new species and varieties JOSEPH F. ROCK (WITH PLATES 9-16) The writer has prepared a monograph on the Hawaiian lobelioi­ deous genera Cyanea, Rollandia, Clermontia, Delissea, Tremato­ lobelia and Brighamia, and on the endemic species of the genus Lo­ belia. But owing to the length of time necessary for the publica­ tion of the rather voluminous manuscript of the whole monograph, he thought itwise to publish the new species first in botanical peri­ odicals or bulletins. The majority of the new species of Cyanea and Clermontia have appeared in the writer's book on the In­ digenous Trees of the Hawaiian Islands (1913), in Bo.tanical Bul­ letin No.2, of the College of Hawaii Publications and in the Bul­ letin of the Torrey Botanical Club. With two exceptions the species and varieties described in the present paper belong to the genus Cyanea, which has by far the largest number of species of the lobelioideous genera represented in the Islands. Clermontia comes next, with RolZandia and Delissea following. I L I Cyanea noli-me-tangere sp. nov. II Plant subherbaceous, 3-20 dm. high, terrestrial, branching only when broken, spinescent throughout, with the exception of the fruit and corolla; stem green, somewhat fleshy, entirely i~ covered with strong, pale yellow, hollow spines; leaves bright ~ .green, ovate-oblong, somewhat acute at the apex, rounded at the I base, thin in texture, irregularly and sinuately notched, with Ii minute, mucronulate teeth along the margin, covered with yellow spines at more or less regular intervals of 7-10 mm.

(anti-herbivore ddenses/geese/leaf fonn/moa-nalos/paedomorphosis) T. J. GIVNISH*, K. J. SYTSMA, J. F. SMITHt, AND W. J. HAHNf Department of Botany, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706-1381 Communicated by Peter H. Raven, November 12, 1993 ABSTRACT The evolution of thorn-like structures in plants on oceanic islands that lack mammalian and reptilian herbivores is puzing, as is their tendency toward juvenile- adult leaf dimorphism. We propose that these traits arose in Cyanea (Campanul) on Hawaii as mechanical and visual defenses against herbivory by flightless geese and goose-like ducks that were extirated by Polynesians within the last 1600 years. A chloroplast DNA phylogeny indicates that thorn-like prickles evolved at least four times and leafdimorphism at least three times during the last 3.7 million years. The incidence of both traits increases from Oahu eastward toward younger islands, paralleling the dribution ofavian species apparently adapted for browsing. The effectiveness of visual defenses against avian browsers (once dominant on many oceanic is- lands, based on the vagility of their ancestors) may provide a general explanation for insar heterophylly: the other islands on which this previoul unexplained phenomenon is marked (New Zelnd, New Co a, Madagascar, Mascarene Is- lands) are exactly those on which one or more large ffightless avian browsers evolved.

    Origin and Evolution of Hawaiian Endemics: New Patterns Revealed by Molecular Phylogenetic Studies

    4 Origin and evolution of Hawaiian endemics: new patterns revealed by molecular phylogenetic studies S t e r l i n g C . K e e l e y a n d V i c k i A . F u n k The current high islands of the Hawaiian archipelago are among the most remote land masses in the world. They lie 3500 km from California, the nearest contin- ental source, and approximately 2300 km from the Marquesas , the nearest islands ( Fig. 4.1 ). They are the southernmost islands in the Hawaiian Ridge , formed succes- sively over a ‘hot spot’ that has allowed magma to penetrate the Pacifi c Plate. The plate has moved gradually north and northwestwards over the past 85 Ma, leaving the previously formed islands to gradually erode and subside (Clague, 1996 ). The current high islands ( Fig. 4.1 , inset) range in age from Kauai /Niihau (5.1–4.9 Ma), to Oahu (3.7–2.6 Ma), to Maui Nui (2.2–1.2 Ma), during the Pleistocene compris- ing several islands – West Maui (1.3 Ma), East Maui (0.75 Ma), Molokai (1.76–1.90 Ma), Lanai (1.28 Ma) and Kaho’olawe (1.03 Ma) – and Hawaii (0.5 Ma to present) (Price & Clague, 2002 ). Important for the establishment and evolution of the extant Hawaiian fl ora is the historic pattern of island formation within the archipelago. For example, islands with elevations greater than 1000 m did not exist from 30 to 23 Ma and from c . 8 to 5 Ma when the current high islands began to emerge (Clague, 1996 ; Price & Clague, 2002 ; Clague et al ., 2010 ).
