These Hawaiian Honeyeaters pollinated the lobeliad plants that have existed in Hawaiʻi for 13 million years (Fleisher and McIntosh 2001, Fleischer et al. 2008, Banko and Banko 2009). Very little is known about this historic species, beyond the use of the Native Hawaiian’s use of their yellow feathers for decorative purposes (Lepson 1998).
