An autogamous rainforest species of Schiedea (Caryophyllaceae) from East Maui, Hawaiian Islands

A new autogamous species of Schiedea is described and illustrated. It is known only from cliff habitat in rainforest on a single ridge in the Natural Area Reserve, Hanawi, East Maui. With the addition of this species there are 28 species in this endemic Hawaiian genus. The new species appears to be most closely related to Schiedea nuttallii , a species of mesic habitats on O'ahu, Moloka'i, and Maui.
