Nothocestrum longifolium

Nothocestrum longifolium, the longleaf aiea, is a species of tree in the nightshade family, Solanaceae, that is endemic to Hawaii. It can be found in mesic and wet forests at elevations of on the islands of Maui, Molokai, Lānai, Oahu, Kauai. It is threatened by habitat loss.

An analysis of the berries revealed them to be one of the most protein-rich of the fruits consumed by nestlings of Corvus hawaiiensis, the Hawaiian crow.
