C. Medeiros, Jr., L. L. Loope, and R. A. Holt U.S.Department of the Interior National Park Service Haleakala National Park P.O. Box 369 Makawao, Maui, Hawaii 96768 UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AT MANOA NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Frontispiece. Revnoldsia mauiensis (Araliaceae), a summer deciduous tree species, growing at 1550 ft near the Auwahi/Kanaio district boundary, south slope of Haleakala, Maui, Hawaii. ABSTRACT In an attempt to provide a basis for conservation measures for the remaining leeward native vegetation of East Maui, an assessment was made of the past and present status of all flowering plant species known from the area. The unpublished 1920 field notes of C. N. Forbes provided a major source of information on past status. Present status was determined by field exploration. A total of 237 native species in 70 families and 139 genera once occurred in the study area, which extends from sea level to 3000m (10,000 ft). Of the native flowering plants of the study area 86% are endemic to the Hawaiian Islands; 28% are endemic or have infraspecific taxa endemic to the island of Maui. Fourty-six (19%) of the species once present in the study area have neither been encountered by this survey nor recently noted by others and are considered extirpated. Of these, 23 species have surviving populations elsewhere in the Hawaiian Islands, though in some cases the study area populations represent endemic subspecific taxa.
