La`au Kanawalu Kumamahiku.....87th Plant
Ixora or Popo Lehua
Ixora casei
Native to the East Indies, the Ixora blooms in many Hawaii
low elevation gardens. This is a much prized ornamental
that produces large ball clusters of tiny bright red flowers.
Unfortunately, there is no fragrance to Ixora. Popo Lehua
in Hawaiian describes a "clump of blossoms" much as this bush
appears.
