Melastoma candidum - Asian Melastome


Melastoma candidum - Asian Melastome (Melastoma candidum - Asian Melastome)

Asian Melastome growing at my friend's nursery, Kartuz Greenhouses in Vista, CA. Photo taken Oct. 8, 2011. This is one of the biggest pest plants in Hawaii, however, it's not quite as invasive as Miconia calvescens.

I really like this shrub. It's typically covered with these mauve flowers.
