The Hispaniolan Emerald is a small hummingbird of forests and scrub on Hispaniola. It feeds on flower nectar and also takes fruit. Older accounts may use the former genus Chlorostilbon; this entry keeps the candidate pool's scientific name.
It is about 11 cm long and weighs about 4 g. Only the size in the species data is given here; no colors or feather patterns are inferred beyond the source text.
It is active by day and feeds on nectar while hovering at flowers or perching nearby. It also takes fruit and is recorded in lowland to montane evergreen forest, secondary forest, edges, and scrub.
