Description
ʻOhai Fabaceae Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands Endangered Kaʻena Point, Oʻahu (foreground) growing with naupaka kahakai (Scaevola sericea) This particular form of ʻohai survives only here in a very restricted area. Seen here, an introduced European honey bee (Apis mellifera) pollinates flowers. However, native Hawaiian Yellow-faced bees (Hylaeus spp.), much smaller, also found here and are the original pollinators of many native plants.
