It is threatened by habitat loss. Like other Hawaiian Melicope, this species is known as alani.[2] This plant was described in 1913 by Joseph Rock, who named it after Howard M. Ballou, proofreader of his book on Hawaiian trees. It is a shrub or small tree with leathery oval leaves up to 10 centimeters long by 7 wide. Young twigs are coated in yellow-brown hairs. The female inflorescence contains 5 to 9 flowers; the male flower has never been seen. The fruit is a capsule about 2.5 centimeters wide.[3] This plant is only known from the slopes of the volcano Haleakalā on Maui. There is a single occurrence containing an unknown number of plants.[4] References1. ^{{PLANTS|id=MEBA|taxon=Melicope balloui|accessdate=2 July 2015}} 2. ^USFWS. Species Reports: Plants. 3. ^USFWS.
