Scaevola chamissoniana is a shrub in the family Goodeniaceae[1] and its native range is the Hawaiian Islands,[3] where it is known as the Mountain naupaka or Naupaka kuahiwi.[4]

it is found in wet forests and open areas at elevations of about 1150 feet and flowers all summer and throughout the year.[4]

It was first described in 1829, by Charles Gaudichaud-Beaupré.[1][2] The specific epithet, chamissoniana, honours Adelbert de Chamisso, naturalist to the expedition ("around the world, by order of the king").[2]
