Hesperomannia (island-aster)[1] is a genus of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae.[2][3]
Hesperomannia is endemic to Hawaii[4][5] and consists of four species:[6]
- Hesperomannia arborescens (Lanai hesperomannia)
- Hesperomannia arbuscula (Maui hesperomannia)
- Hesperomannia lydgatei (Kauai hesperomannia)
- Hesperomannia swezeyi
Although traditionally classified in the tribe Mutisieae, molecular evidence shows that it belongs in the tribe Vernonieae, most closely related to the African Vernonia species.[4]
