Where it grows wild

Mesic forest on Kauaʻi; details were not in the sources we reached, and conditions here combine the measured site (about 720 m) with the known character of Hawaiian halapepe, which grow in open dry to mesic forest.

The measured site is at about 720 m; the type locality Halemanu lies higher in the Kōkeʻe uplands.
