Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended as a general introduction to the ethnobotany of the Hawaiians and as such it presumes, on the part of the reader, little background in either botany or Hawaiian ethnology. It describes the plants themselves, whether cultivated or brought from the forests, streams, or ocean, as well as the modes of cultivation and collection. It discusses the preparation and uses of the plant materials, and the methods employed in building houses and making canoes, wearing apparel, and the many other artifacts that were part of the material culture associated with this farming and fishing people.

The Hawaiian reefs abound in representatives of the phylum, i including such odd and diverse animals as the starfish, sea-urchins, brittle-stars and the sea-cucumbers. The curious bleached white skeletons of the sea-urchins, with the beautiful lace-like pattern pierced in fine holes over the biscuit-shaped shell or test, are among the objects picked up with shells and seaweed on the sand beach. They are hardly to be recognized, however, as the remains of the spiny sea-urchin so often stepped on by incautious bathers. They arc the "hedge-hogs" of the sea, since the numerous calcareous plates forming the shell are covered in the several species with variously-shaped spines. These spines serve the ina, as the sea-urchins are called by the natives, as a means of protection, and in certain species they are used to assist in boring the burrows often inhabited by them in the solid rock below low-tide.

They both are very plentiful on the coral reefs about Honolulu and are gathered and eaten by the natives. If one is taken alive from its hiding place beneath the loose stones on the outer edge of the reef and examined, the spines will be found to move on a ball-and-socket joint.

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.
