Eugenia koolauensis, commonly known as Koʻolau eugenia or nioi, is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. It is endemic to Hawaii, where it could previously be found on the islands of Molokaʻi and Oʻahu; today populations only exist on the latter. This is a federally listed endangered species of the United States.

Nīoi (Eugenia reinwardtiana) belong to the Myrtle family or Myrtaceae with a current figure at over 5,650 species worldwide. [5] . While this species is indigenous in the islands, a rarer species of nīoi or Koʻolau eugenia (Eugenia koolauensis) is endemic and has been placed on the endangered species list.

Nīoi is very closely related to the delicious introduced Surinam cherry (Eugenia uniflora) with its bright red pumpkin shaped fruits. The round red to orange fruits of nīoi are also palatable ranging from bland to mildly sweet. Endemic. Federally Listed. From about 6 to over 20 ft. tall, with a spread of ten feet or more.

Eugenia koolauensis, a member of the Myrtaceae (myrtle) family, is a small tree or shrub between 2 and 7 m (7 and 23 ft) tall with branch tips covered with dense brown hairs.

Red pepper (Capsicum annuum), a small, tropical American shrub. Fruits are podlike berries with many seeds, commonly red and globose to long and narrow. Some are grown for their hot fruits, which are used for their flavoring or as a vegetable. Since about 1815 a red pepper with narrow, inch-long, coneshaped fruits has been growing in Hawaiʻi.

Eugenia reinwardtiana is a shrub to small tree in the family Myrtaceae. Native to tropical forests in Indonesia, [3] the Australian state of Queensland, and many Pacific Islands, its common names include Cedar Bay cherry, beach cherry, Australian beach cherry, mountain stopper, [4] nīoi (Hawaiian), [5] and a'abang (Chamorro).

Non-native plants alter nīoi habitat, creating competition for moisture, light, nutrients and growing space. Fire poses a serious threat to remaining nīoi populations. The spread of highly flammable alien grasses increases the incidence and destructiveness of wildfires.
