Very cool, thanks for the post
so far looking at it its very accurate and very well made with the smaller photo of the 'key' in IDing many of these indigenous/endemic... ps. it shows only a small % of the native plants and mostly drier/sunny coastal/strand species. btw, the Milo is really a 'Canoe Plant', not native...
I know where everyone can be found in 'the wild/shopping centers' if anyone cares, except the dwarf naupaka, which I have never seen anywhere for sale etc. its extremely critically endangered in wild... aloha

save our indigenous and endemic Hawaiian Plants... learn about them, grow them, and plant them on your property, ....instead of all that invasive non-native garbage I see in most yards... aloha

I thought Milo was both a canoe and indigenous, like Kou and Hala trees.

Is Koa native or canoe?
On Antiques Roadshow this week, they had a carved war club (from the Marquesas, I think) that they said was made of a hard wood called Toa, which meant warrior. I know the Tahitian "T" becomes the Hawaiian "K" and that Koa means warrior, so is this the same tree?
