APGA-USFS 2017 Scouting/Collecting Trip for Ochrosia Kauaiensis

Final Report: APGA-USFS 2017 Scouting/Collecting Trip for Ochrosia kauaiensis

Prepared by Seana K. Walsh, Conservation Biologist and Kenneth R. Wood, Research Biologist National Tropical Botanical Garden, 3530 Papalina Rd, Kalāheo, Kauaʻi, Hawaiʻi 96741 February 2018

Project Summary

Over the past six months conservation research was conducted on Ochrosia kauaiensis H. St. John (Apocynaceae), a rare single-island endemic tree species from Kauaʻi. A total of seven trips (see Table 1 and Figures 1-3) were made by the National Tropical Botanical Garden (NTBG) to voucher, map, tag and collect fruits and DNA samples.

Methods. Individual plants were tagged utilizing a “Population Reference Code” ID system standardized within the State of Hawaiʻi. The unique ID was embossed on a metal tag and attached to a small branch of the plant or on an adjacent tree using plastic-coated wire with flagging. This unique plant ID system will ensure consistency and streamline future monitoring. All associated data with a collection were entered into the NTBG Collections Management Database System. Images and videos were labelled and entered into the NTBG Digital Asset Management program using ResourceSpace. Voucher specimens were deposited in NTBG’s herbarium (PTBG) and duplicates were sent to United States National Arboretum and Bishop Museum (BISH). Seed collections from individual plants were kept separate. Depending on the number of seeds collected from an individual, a portion was mailed to the Montgomery Botanical Center (MBC). Remaining seeds were propagated in NTBG’s Conservation and Horticulture Center on Kauaʻi for future ex situ conservation collections in NTBG’s McBryde and Limahuli Gardens on Kauaʻi and NTBG’s Kahanu Garden on Maui. Seeds were not mailed to NTBG’s The Kampong in Florida because staff were dealing with the devastating damage inflicted by Hurricane Irma. Immature fruits also were collected on a case-by-case basis (i.e., if there was no likely chance of regeneration in the area due to heavy, invasive plant and animal disturbance and/or collection sites were extremely remote and difficult to access) and sent to the Micropropagation Laboratory of Lyon Arboretum’s Hawaiian Rare Plant Program on Oʻahu.

Results. Seeds and some seedlings were collected from 30 individual trees of Ochrosia kauaiensis during this research (Table 1). Many individuals encountered were in splendid condition, yet, unfortunately, some previously known colonies had fewer living trees than were previously recorded. The only signs of regeneration were observed in the Hanakapiʻai Valley colony. The paucity of regeneration may likely be due to the effects of invasive non-native plants and animals.

Currently we estimate that there are 83–99 individual trees of O. kauaiensis still surviving in the wild. These trees are found within six sub-populations or colonies on Kauaʻi, namely, Hanakapiʻai (50–56 trees), Hoʻolulu (9–19 trees), Kealia Forest Reserve (6 trees), Limahuli (6 trees), Pohakuao (8 trees), and Waiahuakua (4 trees). Surviving individuals of O. kauaiensis are found between 158–440 meters elevation.

In November, NTBG staff updated the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List assessment for O. kauaiensis. The assessment was reviewed and submitted to the IUCN Head Red List Unit for internal review and publication. This Red List update, which is 10 years overdue, will change the

1 | P a g e

Red List Category for the taxon from Endangered (C2a) to Critically Endangered (C2a(i)), which designates this species as facing a very high risk of extinction it the wild. The ranking reflects a severely limited Extent of Occurrence (EOO), Area of Occupancy (AOO), and all sub-populations facing a continuing decline in their area of extent and quality of habitat (Figures 4 and 5). The new update is tentatively scheduled to be published on the Red List website in June 2018.

Planchonella sandwicensis, Eugenia reinwardtiana, Rauvolfia sandwicensis, and a succession of invasive non-native plant taxa that are listed under ‘Threats to population’ in this section above. Only four trees encountered had mature fruit from which seed collections were made. These trees were also vouchered, mapped and tagged with a unique ID. In three separate areas, many seedlings were found below adult trees. Some seedlings were collected and brought back to NTBG’s Conservation and Horticulture Center. Table 2 summarizes the collections made during this field work trip.

Summary: On December 13th a 30-minute one-way helicopter flight got us into Kalalau Valley where we set up camp. One hour later, we were picked up by helicopter and dropped in Waiahuakua Valley, 6.5 miles down the Nā Pali Coast. The day was spent scouting areas throughout Waiahuakua where plants were known previously. Only four Ochrosia kauaiensis individuals were found in relictual lowland mesic Diospyros-Nestegis forest with Pisonia umbellifera, Wikstroemia oahuensis, Freycinetia arborea, Rauvolfia sandwicensis, Psydrax odorata, Pittosporum napaliensis and a succession of invasive non- native plant taxa that are listed under ‘Threats to Waiahuakua population’ in this section above. All four trees were mapped and tagged with a unique ID. Only two trees had mature fruit from which collections were made. These individuals were also vouchered. At the end of the day, we hiked the 6.5 miles back to our camp in Kalalau Valley. On December 14th, we hiked approximately 4 miles down the coast to Pohakuao Valley. The day was spent scouting areas throughout Pohakuao where plants were known previously. Eight O. kauaiensis individuals were found. All of these trees were mapped and tagged with a unique ID. Only a single tree had mature fruit, from which one seed was collected. Table 4 summarizes the collections made during this multi-day field work trip.
