Achyranthes splendens (ʻEwa hinahina; also called Maui chaff flower, round chaff flower, round-leaf chaff flower, or round-leaved chaff flower) is a species of flowering plant in the pigweed family, Amaranthaceae, that is endemic to Hawaiʻi. Its natural habitats are dry forests, low shrublands, and sandy shores. It is threatened by habitat loss. Native Hawaiians have, for centuries, considered its extract to be an effective natural cure for constipation.
