Cyanea salicina H.Lév.

Genus: Cyanea

Range: Kauai; northeast; mesic forest, 550-700 m.

Growth form: Treelet, 1-1.5 m tall.

First described by Léveillé in 1913 from a specimen collected by Abbé Fauriei in 1910. This specimen was considered a synonym of Cyanea recta until Lammers split the Kaua'i species geographically and resurrected this name for those species not on the Makaleha Mts., Powerline Trail, or Wai'oli Valley.
