April proclaimed as Native Hawaiian Plant Month
Gov. Green has proclaimed April as Native Hawaiian Plant Month. On Maui, a sedge known as Cyperus prescottianus had not been seen for more than 100 years, but was rediscovered along a stream bank. Rebounding species include the coastal shrub naupaka papa on Molokaʻi, and uhiuhi on Lānaʻi.
