kehapinna

Kehapinna is a fictional genus of flowering plants created for illustrative purposes. In this hypothetical account, Kehapinna is placed in the family Apocynaceae and is described as endemic to the volcanic archipelago of Nyr, with a single species named Kehapinna nyriana.

Kehapinna nyriana is a shrub growing up to 2 meters tall. It has opposite, ovate leaves with a glossy surface. The inflorescence is a terminal panicle bearing five-petaled, actinomorphic flowers, about 1.5 cm in diameter, with a pale lavender color and a slender corolla tube. The fruit consists of paired, slender follicles containing numerous winged seeds with tufts of hair.

Endemic to mid-elevation cloud forests on volcanic soils of the island chain, particularly on Nyra and adjacent islets, at elevations around 600–1200 meters. The climate is moist and temperate, with annual rainfall around 1200–1800 mm.

Pollination is presumed to occur via hawkmoths; seed dispersal is by frugivorous birds. The genus has a restricted range and is sensitive to deforestation and invasive plant species. In this fictional framework, Kehapinna nyriana carries a conservation status of Data Deficient pending further study.

Genus name Kehapinna combines elements from the fictional Nyrian language meaning "hidden leaf." The species epithet nyriana derives from Nyra Island, the primary location where the plant is imagined to occur. The taxon was described by fictional botanists L. Kaito and R. Mendes in 2048 in a literature on speculative flora.
