1 ÿaÿaliÿi Dodonaea viscosa Indigenous Naturally found on all the main Hawaiian Islands except Kaho olawe. Nä Inoa Ë A e: A ali i Kü Makani, A ali i Kü Ma Kua, Kümakani Nä Hi ohi ona: A dense shrub (4-8 ft.) with small green leaves and tiny flowers that develop into star-shaped papery seed capsules. These plants are mostly dioecious meaning there are usually separate male and female plants; rarely are they hermaphroditic. The seed capsule comes from the flowers of female plants. These seed capsules vary in color: yellow, green, and pink, deep dark maroon-red. Ka Ho ohana Ana: The seed capsules are highly valued for use in lei-making. The red capsules are used for making a red dye. The wood of A ali i is very hard and is used for making smaller hand tools. Ma Keanakamanö: Zone 3 Ma Kawaiaha o: Mäla and Kïhäpai 1

Nä Hi ohi ona: A greenish blue rush with linear leaves in. long. The flower clusters emerge like an umbrella at the surface with many tiny spikelets (which contain the seed.) The margins of the leaves are very coarse and abrasive. Ka Ho ohana Ana: The pounded stems of this plant were used as a strainer (hoka awa) in the preparation of awa. Ma Keanakamanö: Zone 3 Ma Kawaiaha o: Pua i Wai 4
5 ÿaiea Nothocestrum breviflorum Endemic; Endangered Naturally found in the dry forests from Kaÿü north to Waimea, the Kohala District and found most commonly on Pu uwa awa a in Puakö on the island of Hawaiÿi. Nä Inoa ÿë Aÿe: Hälena This stout tree can grow up to 40 ft. tall. The wood is generally soft with a light brown to grayish-white bark. Most of the leaves tend to gather towards the tip of the branches. The Aiea produces a fragrant flower. Once pollinated, the flowers develop into small orange-red fruit about an in. long filled with numerous little seeds. Ka Hoÿohana ÿana: Flowers can be used for making lei. The leaves, bark, and tap root can be made into an extract to treat abscesses. This wood was used to make gunwales of canoes. One slender species of Aiea was used for thatching sticks ( aho) and fire-making. ÿike Pili: The ÿaiea area on the island of O ahu is named after this rare plant. (Place Names of Hawai i, 1974.) Ma Keanakamanö: Zone 3 5

It has large, narrow elliptical leaves that are light-green. The cluster of flowers are yellow to bright-green and once pollinated they form orange fruit with a single black seed. Ka Ho ohana Ana: The bark of this plant was stripped to make cordage. It was used medicinally to treat asthma and as a laxative. Various parts of the plant can be mixed with chum and spread through the water to stupefy fish. This fishing method is called hola (fish-drugging). A lethal concoction was also made from mixing the bark and roots of äkia kuahiwi with other plants. Ma Keanakamanö: Zone 3 Ma Kawaiaha o: Mäla 7
8 Akiohala Hibiscus furcellatus Indigenous Naturally found on Kauaÿi, Oÿahu, Maui and Hawaiÿi Island in lowland wet areas. Nä Inoa ÿë Aÿe: ÿakiahala, Hau Hele, and Hau Hele Wai, Purple Hibiscus A medium-sized hibiscus about 8 ft. tall with rough leaves that are slight to moderately lobed.

Flowers can be used for a purplish colored dye. The bark can be stripped and made into cordage. Ma Keanakamanö: Zone 4 8
9 Akoko Chamaesyce celasroides Endemic Shrub form: Kauaÿi, Niÿihau, Nïhoa Prostrate form: Kanaio, Maui; Ka Lae, Hawaiÿi Naturally found on Hawai i, Maui, O ahu, Kaua i, Ni ihau and Nïhoa Nä Hi ohi ona: This plant can either be an erect shrub, growing up to 6 ft. with thick, glabrous leaves or a prostrate groundcover, growing up to 2 ft. tall. This plant has light blue-green leaves with tiny, yellow flowers and milky sap. Ka Ho ohana Ana: The buds and leaves of one species were chewed by the weak and infirm. Ike Pili: The name for this plant, Akoko, is derived from its leaves which turn koko (blood) red before they fall off. The plant also bleeds a milky sap when damaged. Ma Keanakamanö: Zone 3 Ma Kawaiaha o: Mäla 9
10 Älaÿa Pouteria sandwicensis Endemic Found on all the main Hawaiian Islands, except Niÿihau and Kahoÿolawe, in the lowland dry forests to mesic forests. Nä Inoa ÿë Aÿe: Äulu, ÿëlaÿa, Kaulu ÿälaÿa can grow to be dense shrubs or tall trees up to 60 ft. New leaves are densely covered in reflective reddish-brown hairs while older leaves turn dark-green with brown hairs on the underside. The flowers are small but once pollinated they develop into yellow fruit that are 1-2 in. in diameter. Ka Hoÿohana ÿana: The Äla a is a hard wood that was used in house construction and to make ÿöÿö (digging sticks) and spears. The sticky sap from the fruit was harvested and placed on stems near flowers frequented by native forest birds. When the bird came to get nectar from the flower it would adhere to the branch, making it easier for the bird catcher to collect its feathers. After taking a few feathers the bird catcher would clean the bird and set it free. An ointment to treat high fever and headache is made from the leaves and bark. Gunwales of canoe have also been known to be made of ÿälaÿa. Ma Keanakamanö: Zone 2 10
11 ÿalaÿala Wai Nui Peperomia blanda Indigenous Found naturally on all the main Hawaiian Islands except Kaho olawe. Nä Hi ohi ona: A succulent plant that grows up to 10 in. tall. It has fleshy, light-green stems and dark-green leaves that have a semi-rough texture; sometimes reddish-pink streaks are found on the underside of the leaves. The flowers are tiny and rise up above the rest of the plant on short, soft flowering stalks. Once pollinated, they form slightly adhesive, poppy-looking seeds that cover the stalk. Ka Ho ohana Ana: A rich, grey dye for dying kapa can be made from the ashes of this plant. The bud is used to treat asthma and the leaf can be used for ear infections and as a tonic. Ike Pili: The name ala ala-wai-nui is qualified by the terms käne (on O ahu) or kupa li i (on Hawai i), pehu, pöhina, and awa-lau-a-käne. (Hawaiian Dictionary, p. 17) Ma Kawaiaha o: Mäla 11

16 ÿauhuhu Tephrosia purpurea Polynesian Introduction Naturally found on all of the main Hawaiian Islands in extremely dry locations like lava fields, rocky slopes, dry ridges and coastal areas. Nä Inoa ÿë Aÿe: ÿauhola, Hola, Ahuhu Small shrubs 3-4 ft. tall with small compound leaves. Tiny, purplish-white pea flowers about 1 in. wide eventually turn into small pealike seed pods. These plants live about 1-2 years. This plant sets many seeds which normally germinate before the original plant dies. Ka Hoÿohana ÿana: It was used to intoxicate fish so that they would be easy to catch. Various parts of the plant were pounded and placed in enclosed water areas, such as tide pools. A topical treatment for cuts and itchy skin can be made from parts of this plant. ÿölelo Nöÿeau: He ÿapu ÿauhuhu köheoheo. A poisonous concoction made of ÿauhuhu. A person of poisonous nature. Ma Keanakamanö: Zone 2 16
17 Awa Piper methysticum Indigenous Naturally found on all the main Hawaiian Islands in or just below the borders of the lower forest zone where there is constant moisture and not too much sun. Nä Hi ohi ona: A shrub 4-12 ft. tall with green jointed stems and heart-shaped leaves. Kinolau: The awa plant and awa drinking are both associated with the akua, Käne and Kanaloa. Ka Ho ohana Ana: The root is the source of a relaxant drink of the same name. The root and leaf is used for its analgesic properties. Prepared formerly by chewing, later by pounding. The pulverized particles were mixed with water and strained. When drunk in excess it can cause drowsiness, scaliness of the skin and bloodshot eyes. Traditional resources indicate that while awa was used as an element in ceremony it was likely not the focal point of ceremony as practiced elsewhere in the Pacific. (Hawaiian Dictionary, p. 33) Ma Keanakamanö: Zone 2 Ma Kawaiaha o: Mäla 17
18 ÿäweoweo Chenopodium oahuense Endemic Naturally found on all of the Hawaiian Islands except Kaho olawe. The plant is found on most of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands as well.

Sometimes the leaves can be very tiny, about ¼ - ½ in. across or they can be up to 2 in. depending on the growing conditions. The flowers are very small and are in clusters above the plant. The young stems are usually streaked with red. Ka Ho ohana Ana: In times of famine, the young leaves and stems were wrapped in kï leaves, steamed and eaten. The harder wood at the base of the plant can also be shaped into fish hooks. The leaves and flowers which smell like the Äweoweo fish are crushed and used as a garnish for food. Ike Pili: In the Kumulipo, the Hawaiian creation chant, many things are created in a dualistic manner meaning that when one thing is created in the ocean, there is often a counter part created on land or in the air and vice versa. This type of dualism occurs with the Äweoweo plant and a red fish named Äweoweo. Ma Keanakamanö: Zone 4 Ma Kawaiaha o: Mäla 18
19 ÿäwikiwiki Canavalia hawaiiensis Endemic Naturally found in the dry forest of Länaÿi, Maui and Hawaiÿi.
