The Manono, Hedyotis terminalis (Hook & Arnott) W.L. Wagner & Herbst, is an endemic member of the coffee family (Rubiaceae). It is probably one of the most polymorphic flowering plants (second only to `Ohia), with variations involving virtually every part of the plant. The leaves are variable in shape, thickness and surface, as are the flowers which have parts of greenish and purple coloration. The fruits are dark blue to purplish black. It can grow as a shrub or small tree in forest, bog, or shrub land on all the major islands, except Niihau and Kahoolawe.
