Legislation/regulation
FINAL RULE: 12 HAWAIIAN PLANTS, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) determines endangered status pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), for 12 species of Hawaiian plants: Adenophorus periens (pendant kihi fern), Bonamia menziesii (no common name (NCN)), Diellia erecta (NCN), Flueggea neowawraea (mehamehame), Hibiscus brackenridgei (ma`o hau hele), Mariscus pennatiformis (NCN), Neraudia sericea (ma`aloa), Plantago princeps (ale), Sesbania tomentosa (`ohai), Solanum incompletum (thorny popolo), Spermolepis hawaiiensis (NCN), and Vigna o-wahuensis (Oahu vigna). These 12 species are found on 1 or more of the following Hawaiian Islands: Laysan, Necker, Nihoa, Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui, and Hawaii. The 12 species and their habitats have been variously affected or are currently threatened by one or more of the following: habitat degradation and/or predation by wild, feral, or domestic animals (pigs, goats, deer, cattle); competition for space, light, water, and nutrients by naturalized, introduced vegetation; habitat loss from fires; human impacts from recreational activities; and insect infestations. Due to the small number of existing individuals and/or their very narrow distributions, these species and most of their populations are subject to an increased likelihood of extinction and/or reduced reproductive vigor from stochastic events. This rule implements the protection provisions provided by the Act for these plant taxa.
EFFECTIVE DATE: December 12, 1994.

Phenology, reproductive potential, seed dispersal and predation, and seedling establishment of three invasive plant species in a Hawaiian rain forest
After rain forest of Haleakala National Park was fenced in the late 1980s, native vegetation responded vigorously yet three problematic plant invaders (Clidemia hirta, Hedychium gardnerianum, and Psidium cattleianum) continued to spread unabated and became of great concern to Park managers. This contribution provides a quantitative assessment of crucial life history junctures (quantitative phenology, reproductive potential, seed dispersal, seed predation, seedling establishment) to assist Haleakala NP and other managers of Hawaiian rain forests. It also provides detailed information for potentially identifying key characteristics in prevention, rapid response, and prioritization of incoming invasive species. (This document is the 2004 Ph.D. dissertation of Dr. Arthur C. Medeiros for the Department of Zoology at the University of Hawaii.)
