Nothocestrum longifolium
Also called Long-leaved Nothocestrum, Longleaf 'aiea
Longleaf 'aiea is a native Hawaiian tree in the nightshade family, found in mesic and wet forests at 360 to 1,620 m. It is rarely grown outside its native habitat, and it is threatened by habitat loss, so it is best sourced from conservation or native plant nurseries.
