Description:

Endemic to Hawaiian islands. This photo around 3940 ft./1201 m, in a mesic/rain forest where Ohia (Metrosideros polymorpha) trees are dominant. Saplings have small bipinnately compound leaves. The typical larger sickle 'leaves' of Koa are modified petioles (phyllodes) shown in this photo on top of small sapling leaves.
