Sideroxylon polynesicum, the keahi or island nesoluma, is a species of flowering plant in the family Sapotaceae. It is found in the Cook ( New Zealand), Tubuai ( French Polynesia), and Hawaiian Islands ( United States). [1] It is threatened by habitat loss. [1]
This species was first described as Chrysophyllum polynesicum by William Hillebrand in 1888, two years after his demise. [3] Then Henri Ernest Baillon transferred it to the genus Nesoluma, all of whose constituent species were later incorporated into the genus Sideroxylon as a result of phylogenetic analyses. [4]
