Aa Nervosa

Hawaiian nervous aa, scientifically known as Aa nervosa, is a unique and resilient plant native to the volcanic soils of Hawaii. This species is characterized by its distinctive appearance, with long, twisting stems and clusters of small, dark green leaves. It thrives in harsh, nutrient-poor environments, often growing in rocky or lava-covered areas. Despite its hardy nature, Aa nervosa is threatened by invasive species and habitat loss. Understanding and protecting this plant is crucial for preserving Hawaii's unique ecological heritage.
