That would be the Manual of Flowering Plants of Hawai'i - Wagner, Herbst and Sohmer.
2 volumes, not cheap - but its pretty much the holy grail of Hawaiian plants (flowering ones at least). It contains keys for the super serious, but also illustrations and descriptions which are helpful for the very interested lay person.
Seems like I look something up in these volumes at least maybe once a week. If you're a plant nerd, like me, and/or if you've fallen hopelessly under the spell of the beautiful plants of the these islands (also like me) go buy these books - you won't regret it.
