A small lorikeet confined to Buru Island in Indonesia, it remains poorly known in the wild.
Adults are yellow-green with a bright blue forecrown. In females the blue area is paler and smaller. The bill is orange.
It has been seen alone, in pairs, and in groups of up to about ten. It is thought to feed at flowers for pollen and nectar, but little is known about its habits.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
