General Information

Abutilon eremitopetalum is a shrub in the mallow family (Malvaceae) and endemic to the island of Lanai. Leaves are grayish-green, densely hairy, heart-shaped leaves 7 to 12 cm (2.5 to 5 in) long. One or two flowers on stems up to 4 cm (1.5 in) long are in the leaf axils. The calyx of the flowers is green, cup-shaped, and about 1.5 cm (0.5 in) long. The petals are shorter than the calyx and are bright green on the upper surface and reddish on the lower surface. The staminal column extends beyond the calyx and is white to yellow, with red style branches tipped with green stigmas. The fruit is a hairy, brown, dry, cylindrical capsule and about 1 cm (0.3 in) long. It is the only Abutilon on Lanai whose flowers have green petals hidden within the calyx.

Habitat Requirements

Abutilon eremitopetalum occurs in the lowland dry zone that receives less than 130 cm (50 in) annual rainfall or has otherwise prevailingly dry substrate conditions that range from weathered reddish silty loams to stony clay soils, rocky ledges with very shallow soil, or relatively recent little-weathered lava. Erythrina sandwicensis (wiliwili) and Diospyros ferrea (lama) are the dominant trees in open forest of the area. Other associated native taxa include Psydrax odorata (alahee), Dodonaea viscosa (aalii), Sideroxylon polynesicum (keahi), Rauvolfia sandwicensis (hao), Sida fallax (ilima), and Wikstroemia sp. (akia).

Movement / Home Range

Abutilon eremitopetalum historically was found in widely scattered colonies in lowland dry habitat from Kalulu, Mahana, Maunalei, Mamaki, and Paawili on the northern, northeastern, and eastern slopes of Lanai, between 210 and 520 m (690 and 1,710 ft). Currently, there is one occurrence of 23 individuals in Kahea Gulch.

Reproductive Strategy

Abutilon eremitopetalum has been observed flowering in February, May, and June, and fruiting in May and August.

Other

It is the only Abutilon on Lanai whose flowers have green petals hidden within the calyx.
