Clermontia

Clermontia is a unique group of plants native to Hawaii, often found in moist, upland forests. These plants are recognized for their large, bell-shaped flowers, which are essential for attracting native birds, crucial for pollination. The robust green leaves and fleshy fruits of clermontia also reflect its adaptation to capturing limited light under dense forest canopies.
