Trematolobelia kauaiensis

Description:

This is an image of a mountain slope on Kauai. I have placed numbers 1 through 10 next to flowering plants of Trematolobelia kauiensis that can be seen at full resolution, plus letters A through I next to non-flowering plants that seem to be lobeliads. I cannot be sure that non-flowering plants are T. kauiense. Lobelia and Cyanea species could be here also. Some additional non-flowering stems are not labelled. In case there is a risk to the plants, I am not posting the exact location (please don't post it in comments if you know this population) but you are welcome to email me for details. The photograph was taken in lare summer 2010 and I hope it may be of interest in tracking these plants in future years. Image I10-1244.
