Brighamia rockii, also known as the Molokai ohaha or Pua ʻala, is an endangered species of flowering plant endemic to the island of Molokaʻi in Hawaii. It is a member of the bellflower family, Campanulaceae, and grows in mesic shrublands and forests on rocky cliffs from sea level to 470 m (1,540 ft). It has a succulent, trunk-like stem that tapers from the base and oval-shaped leaves that form a rosette on the top of the plant. Each inflorescence contains three to eight trumpet-shaped white flowers. It has been extirpated from the islands of Lānaʻi and Maui and is now pollinated by the introduced hawk moth Daphnis nerii. There are five occurrences of the plant remaining in the wild, with a total estimated population of fewer than 200. Conservation efforts are underway to protect the species, including planting individuals in their native habitat.
