General Information
Schiedea haleakalensis of the pink family (Caryophyllaceae) is a hairless shrub, 30 to 80 cm (1 to 2 ft) tall with slightly fleshy, narrow leaves with a single vein, 4 to 8 cm (1.6 to 3.1 in) long and 1 to 3 mm (0.04 to 0.12 in) wide. Flowers are arranged in clusters 3 to 5 cm (1.2 to 2 in) long at the ends of the branches. The flower has 5 green, oval sepals, which are about 3 mm (0.1 in) long, no petals; 5 nectaries, which are 1 to 1.3 mm (0.04 to 0.05 in) long; and 10 stamens. Capsules are about 4 mm (0.2 in) long and contain grayish to reddish brown seeds which are less than 1 mm (0.04 in) long. This species differs from other species of the genus on East Maui by its crowded, hairless inflorescence composed of bisexual flowers.» Range Information

Habitat Requirements
Schiedea haleakalensis occurs on cliffs and in Leptecophylla tameiameiae (pukiawe) subalpine dry shrubland at 1,798 to 2,560 m (5,900 to 8,400 ft) elevation. Associated native species include Artemisia mauiensis (hinahina), Bidens micrantha var. kalahala (kookoolau), Deschampsia nubigena (hairgrass), Dubautia menziesii (naenae), Metrosideros polymorpha (ohia), Plantago princeps var. laxiflora (laukahi kuahiwi), Sadleria cyatheoides (amau), Sanicula sandwicensis (no common name [NCN]), Sophora chrysophylla (mamane), Tetramolopium humile (NCN), and Vaccinium reticulatum (ohelo).
Movement / Home Range
Schiedea haleakalensis historically occurred on Maui, but due to the lack of early collections or sightings, the historic range is unknown. Currently, S. haleakalaensis occurs from Leleiwi Pali and at Kaupo Gap on Maui.
Reproductive Strategy
Schiedea haleakalensis is gynodioecious (individuals either have only female flowers or only bisexual flowers) and so likely requires cross- pollination by small insects. Small, short-flighted flies and moths have been observed visiting flowers. Fruits and seeds have been observed from August through September.
Other
Schiedea haleakalensis was discovered by Otto Degener, Emilio Ordonez, and Felix C. Salucop in 1939 and named by Degener and Sherff (Sherff 1942) after the mountain on which it grows.
