Hibiscus Waimeae Subsp. Hannerae
Hibiscus waimeae subsp. hannerae is a rare and endangered plant native to the Hawaiian island of Oahu. This subspecies is known for its striking, large, showy flowers that bloom in shades of pink and white. It thrives in specific microhabitats, often found in shaded, moist areas of forested regions. Due to habitat loss and invasive species, its population has drastically declined over the years. Conservation efforts are underway to protect and restore this unique botanical treasure.
