Vol. 1 7 No.1 - Issue 70 January - February - March HIBISCUS INTERNATIONAL NNAATTIIVVEE HHAAWWAAIIIIAANN HHIIBBIISSCCUUSS Jill Coryell Oahu, Hawaii Jill Coryell lives in Waialua on the beautiful north shore of Oahu, Hawaii where she runs the Hibiscus Lady Nursery specialising in, of course, Hibiscus. Jill is well known in the international world of Hibiscus and has an in depth knowledge of the Hawaiian species. H. clayi / ©David Eickhoff H. kokio / ©Bill Schmidt Recent University of Hawai'i genetic DNA analysis of the various endemic (native) Hawaiian hibiscus has determined that there are four unique species of Hawaiian reds: H. clayi, H. kahilii, H. kokio, and H. saintjohnianus. Hawaiians refer to all of these as Koki'o 'ula'ula. H. kahilii / ©Rick Barboza H. saintjohnianus / ©David Eickhoff HIBISCUS INTERNATIONAL 1 H. arnottianus / ©Hawaii Horticulture H. immaculatus / ©kahaokaaina.org H. punaluuensis / ©Daviid Eiickhoff H. waimeae / ©Forest and Kiim Starr H. hannerae / ©Daviid Eiickhoff The various native white hibiscus are now recognized to be: H. arnottianus, H. immaculatus, Hibiscus waimeae, H. punaluuensis, and H. hannerae. Hawaiians call all of these Koki'o ke'oke'o. Many think that these have all evolved from a single seed brought by a bird. HIBISCUS INTERNATIONAL 2 H. brackenridgei / ©KarllM We have another endemic species of Hibiscus: H. brackenridgei, known in Hawaiian as Ma'o Hau Hele. It can sometimes become a small tree growing up to 30 feet tall. The fuzzy leaves have toothed edges, 3, 5, or 7 lobes, and are up to 6 inches long/wide. Most of these Hibiscus have become quite rare in the wild, and several are classified as endangered. -

Possible Extinctions, Rediscoveries, and New Plant Records Within The
Records of the Hawaii Biological Survey for 2011. Edited by 91 Neal L. Evenhuis & Lucius G. Eldredge. Bishop Museum Occasional Papers 113: 91 –102 (2012) Possible Extinctions , Rediscoveries, and New Plant Records within the Hawaiian Islands 1 KeNNetH R. W ooD 2 National Tropical Botanical Garden, 3530 Papalina Road, Kalaheo, Kaua‘i, Hawai‘i 96741, USA; email: [email protected] eleven possible new extinctions are reported for the Hawaiian flora, in addition to 5 island records, 3 range rediscoveries, 1 rediscovery, and 1 new naturalized record. the remark - able range rediscoveries of Ctenitis squamigera (Dryopteridaceae) and Lysimachia filifo - lia (Primulaceae) give hope toward their future conservation, as both are federally listed as endangered and were undocumented on Kaua‘i for ca 100 years. Yet there is great con - cern over numerous possible plant extinctions in Hawai‘i. two extinctions were recently reported from Kaua‘i (i.e., Dubautia kenwoodii and Cyanea kuhihewa ) (Wood 2007), and an additional 11 are now reported to have no known living individuals in the wild. Species abundance will naturally fluctuate, yet for very rare taxa there is little room for decline. the ongoing decline of native pollinators (Kearns et al. 1998) and seed dispersers (Mil - berg & tyrberg 1993), in combination with other primary extrinsic factors such as inva - sive nonnative plants, predation by introduced vertebrates, loss and fragmentation of nat - ural habitats, and devastation by severe storms, are leading to an increase in extinctions throughout the islands of oceania (Sakai et al. 2002; Wood 2007; Kingsford et al. 2009). the assertion of extinction is potentially fallible and can only be inferred from absence of sighting or collection records (Solow & Roberts 2003). -
