10600 010-01-6974 Cyanea ‘muricata’ (Rollandia crispa var. muricata). Hawai`i, O`ahu, Ko`olau Mts., Nu`uanu. Plant 1.

Cyanea ‘muricata’
(Rollandia crispa Gaudichaud var. muricata Rock)

Hawaiian names: hāhā, `ōhā, `ōhā wai
Family: Campanulaceae (the bellflower family)
Habit: Plants with somewhat fleshy stems. Immature and young mature plants are often single stemmed. Older plants are usually branched at the base.
Native; endemic to the Ko`olau Mountains of O`ahu.
Habitat: gulch bottoms and lower gulch slopes in mesic-wet and wet forest.
Federally listed as endangered (as Cyanea crispa).

Cyanea crispa in the strict sense (not including Rollandia crispa var. muricata) and C. ‘muricata’ (Rollandia crispa var. muricata) appear to be separate taxa. They can be found growing together. I have not yet seen any plants that look intermediate between the two. They are easily distinguished even when they are without flowers or fruits by looking at the morphology of their leaves.

Hawai`i, O`ahu, southern Ko`olau Mountains, leeward (southern) side, Nu`uanu. Plant 1. Plants 1 and 2 were growing next to one another. The longest leaves of this plant are about 70 centimeters long.

I have not had a chance to take any photographs of the flowers of the Nu`uanu population of C. ‘muricata’. Photographs of flowers of a Nu`uanu plant can be seen on Sebastian Marquez’s blog:
