Records of the Hawaii Biological Survey for 2011. Edited by Neal L. Evenhuis & Lucius G. Eldredge. Bishop Museum Occasional Papers 113: 55–63 (2012) New plant records from the Big Island for 2009 JaMES l. ParKEr & BoBBY ParSoNS Big Island Invasive Species Committee, 23 E. Kawili St, Hilo, Hawai‘i 96720; emails: jameslp@hawaii.edu; rparsons@hawaii.edu The Big Island Invasive Species committee (BIISc) implemented its Early detection program in May of 2008. roadside Surveys were conducted on major, secondary, tertiary, and residential roads in the Ka‘ū, South Kona, North Kona, South Kohala, and Puna districts. Here, BIISc Early detection documents 17 new naturalized records and 14 new island records. a total of 20 plant families are discussed. Information regarding the formerly known distribution of flowering plants is based on the Manual of the flowering plants of Hawai‘i (Wagner et al. 1999), A tropical garden flora (Staples & Herbst 2005) and information subsequently published in the Records of the Hawaii Biological Survey. Voucher specimens are deposited at Bishop Museum’s Herbarium Pacificum (BISH), Honolulu, Hawai‘i. Acanthaceae Megaskepasma erythrochlamys lindau New island record first collected as naturalized on o‘ahu in 2008 (frohlich & lau 2010: 3), this popular ornamental has been seen successfully naturalizing at several locations throughout the dry side of the island. at this location, a large population dominated the understory on both sides of the highway with plants spreading over 100 m above the highway. This species is also reported naturalizing on Kaua‘i (frohlich & lau this volume). Material examined. HAWAI‘I: South Kona distr. Hwy 11, mile marker 104, captain cook, 2150821N, 197526E. Inflorescence a red spike with white flowers, up to 10 ft tall. Spreading on both sides of highway under avocado and african tulip, 29 Sep 2008, J. Parker & R. Parsons BIED40. Sanchezia parvibracteata Sprague & Hutch. New naturalized record This popular hedge plant is common throughout the island, especially the wet side, and is often seen spreading from cultivation. This specimen was naturalizing in a drainage area off the highway under avocado and african tulip trees. Two Sanchezia species are grown in Hawai‘i, S. speciosa and S. parvibracteata (Staples & Herbst 2005). Sanchezia parvibracteata differs in having a yellow midvein and joined bracts that are shorter than the calyx. Material examined. HAWAI‘I: South Hilo distr. Hwy 19, mile marker 6, Pauka‘a. red spikes with yellow flowers and prominent pale yellow midvein, 10 Nov 2008, J. Parker & R. Parsons BIED47. Apocynaceae Nerium oleander l. New naturalized record This plant was found naturalizing between Pāhala and Nā‘ālehu on Ka‘alāiki rd in the Ka‘ū distr. This 9-ft tall, single specimen was growing on a hillside overgrown with tall Guinea grass. This species is popular in highway plantings (Staples & Herbst 2005) but that does not explain how this plant arrived as it was around 20 m off of a rural road that would not warrant highway plantings. Since identification, this specimen has been removed by an unknown entity. This is the only time this species was seen so obviously naturalized. 55
