Summary

Description

Nīoi or Koʻolau eugenia Myrtaceae Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands (Molokaʻi, extinct; Oʻahu, extant) Endangered Oʻahu (Cultivated)

These are flowering and flowering and fruiting much earlier than in previous years. Nīoi may prove to year round bloomers, at least under cultivation. The entire flower, including the stamens, are about the size of a dime (10 cents US).

The hard wood was fashioned into kapa (tapa) beaters by early Hawaiians. The fruits are edible and have a somewhat sweet to bland or bitter taste.
