Certainty will be the death of us.

and THEY dont live in the endemic species capitol of the World...
same place as the endangered species capital of the World... same place as the invasive species capitol of the World... maybe try an endemic daisy kine species thats ONLY found in Puna/Ka'u... (Bidens hawaiensis) and this one is VERY VERY medicinal! and needs help to survive... http://www.botany.hawaii.edu/faculty/carr/bidens.htm https://hilocoffeemill.com/hawaiiankookoolautea.aspx via Hilo Coffee Mill... Ko'oko'olau Hawaiian herbal tea is a delicious refreshing tea known by ancient Hawaiians to promote good health, cleanse the body, prevent strokes, diabetes, constipation, and revive the appetite. It was also used to help people with stomach problems, colon and bowel problems, and those with liver problems. Ko'oko'olau is enjoyed both hot and as a refreshing iced tea. Suggested use is to drink for 5 days and take 2 days off drinking up to 3 cups a day. (Crushed leaf with added lemon grass 'lukini') Brewing Instructions Boil 3 cups of water in non-aluminum tea pot. Add approximately 1 tablespoon of crushed leaves to boiling water. Remove from heat, cover and let steep for 10 to 15 minutes. Reheat if needed. To increase strength, taste and color, let steep longer if desired. Yield: 4 - 6 cups of hot tea. Drink 3 cups a day for 5 days. Drink to good taste. https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/hisc/info/invasi...-profiles/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasive_s..._in_Hawaii https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endemism_i...an_Islands fyi.... a plant species made it to Hawaii and lived on to reproduce and eventually evolve.. only ONCE every 20,000 Years! on average... (if you believe the made up jesus fluff) ... thats '10X jesus' some species evolved into more than 125+ different species... ie... Hawaiian lobelioids Hawaii is also the site of a separate major floral adaptive radiation event: the Hawaiian lobelioids. The Hawaiian lobelioids are significantly more speciose than the silverswords, perhaps because they have been present in Hawaii for so much longer: they descended from a single common ancestor who arrived in the archipelago up to 15 million years ago. Today the Hawaiian lobelioids form a clade of over 125 species, including succulents, trees, shrubs, epiphytes, etc. Many species have been lost to extinction and many of the surviving species endangered. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_radiation malahini need to try for be more into saving Hawaii's UNIQUE flora and fauna... try to be 'more 'Hawaiian' the real Hawaiian, the stuff thats been here for up to 60,000 times longer than humans... Hawaii's Natural History! 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
