About

Dubautia laevigata, commonly known as the smooth dubautia, is a species of Dubautia endemic to moderate elevations on the island of Kauaʻi in Hawaii, United States. A member of the Silversword alliance, it only grows in the understory of mesic Hawaiian tropical rainforests. It is declining in population and is threatened by the spread of invasive species, with approximately 5500 individuals remaining.

Where it grows

Dubuatia laevigata is only found at medium elevations of 575–1,250 m (1,886–4,101 ft) in mesic wet forests on the island of Kauaʻi. It is absent from the highest elevations of the Alaka'i plateau.
