Nothocestrum breviflorum, commonly known as smallflower ʻaiea, is a species of tree in the nightshade family, Solanaceae, that is endemic to the island of Hawaiʻi. It inhabits dry and mixed mesic forests [3] at elevations of 180–1,830 m (590–6,000 ft). These forests are dominated by ʻōhiʻa lehua ( Metrosideros polymorpha) and koa ( Acacia koa) or lama ( Diospyros sandwicensis), while plants associated with smallflower ʻaiea include wiliwili (Erythrina sandwicensis) and uhiuhi ( Caesalpinia kavaiensis). N. breviflorum reaches a height of 10–12 m (33–39 ft). [3] It is threatened by habitat loss. It is federally listed as an endangered species of the United States. There are fewer than 50 individuals remaining. [1]
