Eugenia reinwardtiana (type with small narrow leaves). Hawai`i, O`ahu, Wai`anae Mountains, Keawapilau Gulch. Plant 1.

Eugenia reinwardtiana (Blume) de Candolle
Hawaiian names: nīoi
Family: Myrtaceae (the myrtle family)
Habit: a shrub or a small tree.
Native.
Eugenia reinwardtiana is distributed in the Pacific from Borneo through Melanesia, Micronesia, the Tuamotu Archipelago, to Hawai`i. In Hawai`i, the species has been recorded from Kaua`i, O`ahu (Wai`anae Mountains and Ko`olau Mountains), East Moloka`i, and Maui (West Maui only?). The species is rare over much of its range in Hawai`i, but it is locally common in parts of the Wai`anae Mountains on O`ahu.
Habitat in Hawai`i: dry forest.

This is a distinctive, uniform kind of E. reinwardtiana with small, narrow leaves that I have seen only in the adjacent gulches of Keawapilau and Kapuna in the Wai`anae Mountains of O`ahu.

Most populations of Eugenia reinwardtiana in Hawai`i (as well as the closely related rare endemic Hawaiian species, E. koolauensis) are being severely impacted by the introduced rust disease Puccinia psidii (guava rust), which was first recorded in Hawai`i in 2005. This type of E. reinwardtiana may be unaffected by the rust.
