Habitat Requirements

Cyanea crispa occurs in habitats ranging from steep, open mesic forest to gentle slopes or moist gullies of closed wet forest, at elevations between 185 and 730 m (600 and 2,400 ft). Associated native species include Hibiscus arnottianus (kokio keokeo), Cyanea spp. (haha), Microsorum spectrum (peahi), Cyrtandra spp. (haiwale), Pisonia spp. (papala kepau), and Touchardia latifolia (olona).

Movement / Home Range

Historically, Cyanea crispa was known from scattered locations throughout the upper elevations of the Koolau mountains of Oahu from Kaipapau Valley to the north to Waialae Iki Ridge to the southeast. Currently it ranges from Wailupe to Helemano in the Koolau mountains.

Reproductive Strategy

Cyanea crispa has been observed flowering from April through July.

Other

Cyanea crispa is distinguished from other species in this endemic Hawaiian genus by its leaf shape, distinct calyx lobes, and the length of the flowers and stalks of flower clusters.
