Tibouchina urvilleana, a shrub or small tree 3-12 feet tall with densely fuzzy elliptic-ovate to lanceolate leaves 1-1/2 to 6 inches long with 5-7 main veins, is widely cultivated for its attractive purple flowers. In Hawaii, this species is a pest in moist areas where it forms large thickets and spreads vegetatively. In Hawaii, Tibouchina urvilleana is a pest in moist areas where it forms large thickets and spreads vegetatively. Tibouchina urvilleana is a Hawaii state noxious weed. Though fairly widespread, control of Tibouchina urvilleana in discrete locations, natural areas, and vulnerable habitat may help prevent larger infestations from occurring. Tibouchina urvilleana is native to southern Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul to Rio de Janeiro).
