Delissea Kauaiensis

	Delissea Kauaiensis ''Delissea kauaiensis'' is a critically endangered species of the Campanulaceae, bellflower family. It is found on Mt. Ha'upu near Hanapepe Falls, and Mahanaloa. It was thought to be extinct, but 10 individuals were found in 2016. It is known as ‘Oha in Hawaiian, and has the English common names of Kauaʻi delissea, KauaʻI leechleaf delissea, and Leechleaf delissea. Description The flower color is greenish-white. The bloom period for the flowers lasts from June to February, with the flowers reaching their peak during this time. Meanwhile, the fruiting period occurs between October and February, when the fruits begin to develop. The color of the fruit is a rich, dark purple, providing a striking contrast to the foliage. The leaves are typically dark or medium green, often exhibiting a reddish tint, which adds to the plant's vibrant appearance. Unlike its sibling, ''Delissea rhytidosperma,'' D. kauaiensis is taller and rarely branches. References {{Taxonbar, from=Q156 ...

	Campanulaceae The family Campanulaceae (also bellflower family), of the order Asterales, contains nearly 2400 species in 84 genera of herbaceous plants, shrubs, and rarely small trees, often with milky sap. Among them are several familiar garden plants belonging to the genera '' Campanula'' (bellflower), '' Lobelia'', and '' Platycodon'' (balloonflower). '' Campanula rapunculus'' (rampion or r. bellflower) and '' Codonopsis lanceolata'' are eaten as vegetables. '' Lobelia inflata'' (indian tobacco), '' L. siphilitica'' and '' L. tupa'' (devil's tobacco) and others have been used as medicinal plants. '' Campanula rapunculoides'' (creeping bellflower) may be a troublesome weed, particularly in gardens, while ''Legousia'' spp. may occur in arable fields. Most current classifications include the segregate family Lobeliaceae in Campanulaceae as subfamily Lobelioideae. A third subfamily, Cyphioideae, includes the genus '' Cyphia'', and sometimes also the genera '' Cyphocarpus'', '' Nemacladus'', ...

	Delissea Rhytidosperma ''Delissea rhytidosperma'', is known by the common names Kauai delissea, Kauai leechleaf delissea, and leechleaf delissea. It is a rare species of flowering plant in the bellflower family, that is endemic to Hawaii where it is known only from the island of Kauai. It is critically endangered or extinct in the wild. Some populations that were formerly included in the species ''D. rhytidosperma'' are now called ''Delissea kauaiensis''.USFWS''Delissea rhytidosperma'' Five-year Review.January 2008. It is a federally listed endangered species. Description ''Delissea rhytidosperma'', a Hawaiian lobelioid, is a shrub which grows up to tall.

	Lobelioideae Lobelioideae is a subfamily of the plant family Campanulaceae. It contains 32 genera, totalling about 1200 species. Some of the larger genera are ''Lobelia'', '' Siphocampylus'', ''Centropogon'', '' Burmeistera'' and '' Cyanea''. They are perennials, sometimes annuals, ranging in form from herbs to small trees. Most species are tropical in distribution, but in total this subfamily occurs almost worldwide, being absent only from Arctic regions, central Asia and the Near East. The subfamily is particularly diverse in Hawaii, where well over 100 species of Hawaiian lobelioids have radiated from a single introduction. This subfamily was formerly given family rank as Lobeliaceae, under a somewhat different circumscription. The leaves are simple and alternate. The plants have milky sap. The flowers are bilaterally symmetric with five lobes and stamen The stamen (: stamina or stamens) is a part consisting of the male reproductive organs of a flower. Collectively, the stamens fo ...
