  • A Preliminary Report of the Biology of the Genus Charpentiera (Amaranthaceae) I
    Pacific Science (1973), Vol. 27, No.4, p. 399-405 Printed in Great Britain A Preliminary Report of the Biology of the Genus Charpentiera (Amaranthaceae) I S. H. SOHMER 2 ABSTRACT: The genus Charpentiera (Amaranthaceae), found in the Hawaiian and Austral archipelagoes, has a structurally gynodioecious but functionally dioecious breeding system. The sex ratio varies from taxon to taxon within the genus. The sex-determining mechanism is unknown. A high rate ofovule sterility is found in all the taxa, which i~ not predicted by the pollen sterility figures reported. Data concern­ ing seed size, pollen size, and seed germination potential are provided. Hybridization is demonstrated to occur between Charpentiera densiflora Sohmer and C. elliptica (Hilleb.) Heller. Reproductive isolation is reported for C. tomentosa var. tomentosa Sohmer and C. obovata Gaud. THE GENUS Charpentiera is indigenous to the often small and thinly scattered throughout the Hawaiian Islands. In 1934 it was also found mature ecosystems of the generic range. Popu­ on two of the Austral Islands approximately lations of several of the taxa, however, are 2,800 miles disjunct from Hawaii (Suessenguth sometimes numerous in certain areas such as 1936). The members of the genus are trees the heads of deep gulches in some of the highly ranging from about 8 to 40 feet high and are dissected volcanic ranges of the islands. During of diverse habit, with pendant, compound the course of the revision, the reproductive panicles of minute, anemophilous flowers. The biology of Charpentiera was investigated. fruit is indehiscent and uniovulate. A recent systematic revision of Charpentiera (Sohmer 1972) has recognized six major taxa in the SEX RATIO AND TENDENCY TO DIOECISM genus.

  • Urera Kaalae
    Plants Opuhe Urera kaalae SPECIES STATUS: Federally Listed as Endangered Genetic Safety Net Species J.K.Obata©Smithsonian Inst., 2005 IUCN Red List Ranking – Critically Endangered (CR D) Hawai‘i Natural Heritage Ranking ‐ Critically Imperiled (G1) Endemism – O‘ahu Critical Habitat ‐ Designated SPECIES INFORMATION: Urera kaalae, a long‐lived perennial member of the nettle family (Urticaceae), is a small tree or shrub 3 to 7 m (10 to 23 ft) tall. This species can be distinguished from the other Hawaiian species of the genus by its heart‐shaped leaves. DISTRIBUTION: Found in the central to southern parts of the Wai‘anae Mountains on O‘ahu. ABUNDANCE: The nine remaining subpopulations comprise approximately 40 plants. LOCATION AND CONDITION OF KEY HABITAT: Urera kaalae typically grows on slopes and in gulches in diverse mesic forest at elevations of 439 to 1,074 m (1,440 to 3,523 ft). The last 12 known occurrences are found on both state and privately owned land. Associated native species include Alyxia oliviformis, Antidesma platyphyllum, Asplenium kaulfusii, Athyrium sp., Canavalia sp., Charpentiera sp., Chamaesyce sp., Claoxylon sandwicense, Diospyros hillebrandii, Doryopteris sp., Freycinetia arborea, Hedyotis acuminata, Hibiscus sp., Nestegis sandwicensis, Pipturus albidus, Pleomele sp., Pouteria sandwicensis, Psychotria sp., Senna gaudichaudii (kolomona), Streblus pendulinus, Urera glabra, and Xylosma hawaiiense. THREATS: Habitat degradation by feral pigs; Competition from alien plant species; Stochastic extinction; Reduced reproductive vigor due to the small number of remaining individuals. CONSERVATION ACTIONS: The goals of conservation actions are not only to protect current populations, but also to establish new populations to reduce the risk of extinction.

  • Kamakahala Labordia Cyrtandrae
    No Photo Available Plants Kamakahala Labordia cyrtandrae Federally Listed as Endangered Genetic Safety Net Species IUCN Red List Ranking – Critically Endangered (CR D) Hawai‘i Natural Heritage Ranking ‐ Critically Imperiled (G1) Endemism – O‘ahu Critical Habitat ‐ Designated SPECIES INFORMATION: Labordia cyrtandrae, a short‐lived perennial member of the logania family (Loganiaceae), is a shrub 0.7 to 2 m (2.3 to 6.6 ft) tall. This species is distinguished from others in the genus by its fleshy, hairy, cylindrical stem that flattens upon drying, the shape and length of the floral bracts, and the length of the corolla tube and lobes. Labordia cyrtandrae has been observed flowering from May through June, fruiting from July through August, and is sporadically fertile year‐round. The flowers are functionally unisexual, and male and female flowers are on separate plants. DISTRIBUTION: Labordia cyrtandrae is endemic to the Wai‘anae Mountains and Ko‘olau Mountains of O‘ahu. ABUNDANCE: Currently there are four subpopulations known, totaling 11 individuals. LOCATION AND CONDITION OF KEY HABITAT: Labordia cyrtandrae typically grows in shady gulches, slopes, and glens in mesic to wet forests and shrublands dominated by Metrosideros polymorpha, Diplopterygium pinnatum, and/or Acacia koa between the elevations of 212 and 1,233 m (695 and 4,044 ft). The habitat of Labordia cyrtandrae has been degraded by feral pigs; competition with the alien plants such as Christmas berry, Koster’s curse, prickly Florida blackberry, and strawberry guava, and is potentially threatened by military activities and fire. Associated native plant species include Antidesma sp., Artemisia australis, Bidens torta, Boehmeria grandis, Broussaisia arguta, Chamaesyce sp., Coprosma sp., Cyrtandra sp., Dicranopteris linearis, Diplazium sandwichianum, Dubautia plantaginea (naenae), Lysimachia hillebrandii, Peperomia membranacea (ala ala wai nui), Perrottetia sandwicensis, Phyllostegia sp., Pipturus albidus, Pouteria sandwicensis, and Psychotria sp.

  • Orchids: 2017 Global Ex Situ Collections Assessment
    Orchids: 2017 Global Ex situ Collections Assessment Botanic gardens collectively maintain one-third of Earth's plant diversity. Through their conservation, education, horticulture, and research activities, botanic gardens inspire millions of people each year about the importance of plants. Ophrys apifera (Bernard DuPon) Angraecum conchoglossum With one in five species facing extinction due to threats such (Scott Zona) as habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species, botanic garden ex situ collections serve a central purpose in preventing the loss of species and essential genetic diversity. To support the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation, botanic gardens create integrated conservation programs that utilize diverse partners and innovative techniques. As genetically diverse collections are developed, our collective global safety net against plant extinction is strengthened.

  • List 01 Hawaiian Names 01 Plants
    V\.{). 3 v BOTANICAL BULLETIN NO.2 JUNE. 1913 TERRITORY OF HAWAII BOARD OF AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY List 01 Hawaiian Names 01 Plants BY JOSEPH F. ROCK Consulting Botanist, Board of Agriculture and Forestry HONOLULU: HAWAIIAN GAZETTE CO., LTD. 1913 ALPHABETICAL LIST OF HAWAIIAN NAMES OF PLANTS. The following list of Hawaiian plant-names has been compiled from various sources. Hillebrand in his valuable Flora of the Hawaiian Islands has given many Hawaiian names, especially of the more common species; these are incorporated in this list with a few corrections. Nearly all Hawaiian plant-names found in this list and not in Hillebrand's Flora were secured from Mr. Francis Gay of the Island of Kauai, an old resident in this Terri­ tory and well acquainted with its plants from a layman's stand­ point. It was the writer's privilege to camp with Mr. Gay in the mountains of Kauai collecting botanical material; for almost every species he could give the native name, which he had se­ cured in the early days from old and reliable natives. Mr. Gay had made spatter prints of many of the native plants in a large record book with their names and uses, as well as their symbolic meaning when occurring in mele (songs) or olioli (chants), at­ tached to them. For all this information the writer is indebted mainly to Mr. Francis Gay and also to Mr. Augustus F. Knudsen of the same Island. The writer also secured Hawaiian names from old na­ tives and Kahunas (priests) in the various islands of the group.
