This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Native Hawaiian plants make up a unique flora because of the extreme isolation of the Hawaiian Islands. When the Polynesian settlers arrived, they encountered many plants that they did not know before. Over the course of generations, the Hawaiian people learned how to use the native flora to meet their needs. Along with the crops that the settlers introduced from the South Pacific, native plants became the basis for Hawaiian society and economy. In addition to describing the plants and their habitats, this guide relates the significance that native and Polynesian-introduced plants had to traditional Hawaiian culture, and tells how these plants are still used today." --Back cover.

Download or read book Loulu written by Donald R. Hodel and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2012-11-30 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forewords by Paul R. Weissich and William S. Merwin The only native palms in Hawai‘i, loulu are among the Islands’ most distinctive plants. Several of the 24 recognized species are rare and endangered and all make handsome and appropriate ornamentals to adorn gardens and landscapes with their dramatic foliage, colorful flower clusters, and conspicuous fruits. In this volume, Donald Hodel shares his expertise on loulu, having traveled extensively throughout Hawai‘i to research and photograph nearly all the species in their native habitat. In the course of his work, he described and named three loulu that were new to science. Each of the 24 species is treated in detail and this book is handsomely illustrated with more than 200 color photographs that clearly show leaves, flower stalks, fruits, and habitat. Chapters on loulu history, botany, ecology, conservation, uses, and propagation and culture provide essential background information for readers, whatever their level of interest or expertise. In the appendices, they will find a concise summary of loulu, lists of species by island, and an illustrated compendium of exotic, naturalized palms of Hawai‘i and relatives of loulu found throughout the South Pacific. As interest in growing and conserving native Hawaiian plants surges while their numbers and habitat continue to decline, Loulu: The Hawaiian Palm will be valued as one of the most comprehensive and thoroughly illustrated treatments of these exceptional plants.

Download or read book Hawaii's Native Plants written by Bruce Bohm and published by Mutual Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hawaiian Islands are the most isolated archipelago on Earth. The chance arrival of plants and animals to these rich volcanic islands resulted in the evolution of a host of unique speciesalmost 90 percent of the plants native to this island chain do not occur anywhere else in the world. But the Hawaiian Islands were not to remain as they were. They were discovered by humans, and with the settlers came other invaders. Native species, which had evolved with few natural enemies, had little or no protection. The invasion had begun. The losses suffered have been huge, and until recently, few understood how much was being lost as these biological riches vanished from the Pacific Basin. Focusing on plants endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, Hawaii's Native Plants also includes a sampling of species that occur elsewhere in the Pacific Basin, as well as those brought by early settlers, and other alien species. Dr. Bohm begins with the basic questions island biologists ask: Where is everything? How did it all get here? When did it all happen? The reader will also learn of the islands' fascinating geological history and the development of its native flowering plants and ferns, and the pests that have wreaked or threatened havoc on island biodiversity and others whose impact remains to be seen. The concept of endemism, or "nativeness," is also discussed. The scope of the discussion is invaluable in answering the question of what can we do now to protect what remains of Hawaii's priceless natural heritage.
