Lipochaeta kamolensis known by the common name Maui nehe, is a rare species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae.
[1] It grows on slopes and gulches in a small stretch of shrubland on the southern side of East Maui island.
Nearby there is another population which appears to be a hybrid swarm of plants descended from Lipochaeta kamolensis and L. rockii crosses.
[1] Lipochaeta kamolensis is federally listed as an endangered species of the United States.
The main threat to the species is the loss and degradation of its habitat caused by ungulates, non-native plants, and fires.
