Kauai remya

Remya kauaiensis

Remya kauaiensis is a rare species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, known by the common name of Kauai remya. It is endemic to Hawaii, where it is known only from the island of Kauai. It is threatened by the degradation of its habitat. It is a federally listed endangered species of the United States.

This shrub usually grows up to about 90 centimeters (35 in) tall, but can reach up to 4 meters (13 ft). It has many vine-like spreading branches with fuzzy tips. The toothed leaves are green on the upper surfaces and are coated in white hairs on the undersides. The inflorescence is a panicle of flower heads. The flowers are probably pollinated by insects and the seeds are likely dispersed by wind or water.
