Trematolobelia haleakalaensis

Trematolobelia haleakalaensis, also known as Haleakala lobelia or Ma'o, is a species of flowering plant in the family Campanulaceae, native to the island of Maui in Hawaii.

The plant has been used in traditional Hawaiian medicine for its medicinal properties, which include anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.

The leaves and flowers of the Trematolobelia haleakalaensis plant are believed to have several health benefits, including reducing inflammation, improving respiratory health, and acting as a natural expectorant.
