'Ohai Nectar

‘Ohai is an endemic, endanger, low-lying shrub that once thrived along the Wai‘anae and Mokule‘ia coastlines. Some of the last wild survivors of this species (Sesbania tomentosa) are fortunately gaining ground in the sand dunes of the Ka’ena Point Natural Area Reserve. A hairstreak butterfly is among the pollinators that enjoy the nectar of the unique, salmon-colored ‘ohai blossom.
