For The Maui News An adult iiwi feeds on a Lobelia grayana in Waikamoi Preserve. These native plants and birds evolved together, increasing the survival success of both species – the tubular shape of the plant’s flowers perfectly matches the curvature of the bird’s bill, providing food for the iiwi and pollination for the lobelia.
