Vaccinium reticulatum
The Ohelo (Vaccinium reticulatum) is a flowering plant in the family Ericaceae, and is native to Hawaii, where it grows at altitudes of 640-3,700 m on lava flows and freshly disturbed volcanic ash on Maui and Hawai'i, and less commonly on Kaua'i, O'ahu, and Moloka'i. It shows adaptations to volcanic activity, being able to survive ash falls of over 25 cm depth and being an important colonist of fresh ash deposits.
