This member of the Campanulaceae family was
described by Harold St. John in 1969. It is only found on The Hawaiian
island Molokai. It grows on the hill-sides in well-drained soil with
some water and lots of sun. It can grow to 5 meters with a stem 25
centimetres in diameter, and the flowers are
white. Forrest Anderson send me some seeds from CSSA seed depot.
Prefer temperatures
around 20-25 C.
Sadly, there are now fewer than 100 Brighamia
rockii, plants growing on Moloka’i.
