Nothocestrum breviflorum, commonly known as smallflower ʻaiea, is a species of tree in the nightshade family, Solanaceae, that is endemic to the island of Hawaiʻi. It inhabits dry and mixed mesic forests [3] at elevations of 180–1,830 m (590–6,000 ft). These forests are dominated by ʻōhiʻa lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha ) and koa (Acacia koa ) or lama (Diospyros sandwicensis ), while plants associated with smallflower ʻaiea include wiliwili (Erythrina sandwicensis) and uhiuhi (Caesalpinia kavaiensis ). N. breviflorum reaches a height of 10–12 m (33–39 ft).[3] It is threatened by habitat loss. It is federally listed as an endangered species of the United States. There are fewer than 50 individuals remaining.[1]
