Loulu

Loulu

Common Name: * Loulu
Scientific Name: * Pritchardia limahuliensis
Categories: * Endangered
Conservation Status: * Critically endangered


Why is this species important?

This palm is endemic to Kauai, the northernmost and oldest of the Hawaiian Islands chain with the greatest diversity of plant species of any island in Hawaii.

Where is it found?

Pritchardia limahuliensis is found only in the Limahuli valley, growing in lowland moist forest. There are fewer than 300 individuals in the wild and regeneration is limited, mainly because of seed predation by rats and pigs.

Why is it threatened?

Loulu is threatened by grazing and other damage from introduced animals and by competition from invasive exotic plants.

What conservation action is needed?

P. limahuliensis is not yet listed under the US Endangered Species Act.The National Tropical Botanic Garden (NTBG) is currently involved in a restoration project for the species and maintains an ex situ conservation collection.

Good to see concern for this loulu. All or nearly all of the loulu species face the same plight.
Latest botanical reports indicate that the Hawaiian species are probably decendants of the two main south pacific species, Pritchardia pacifica and Pritchardia thurstonii. The character of the influorescence determines which ancestor the species decended from.
