The author describes the plants, gives common names, mainland equivalents--if there are any--and tells their uses in the changing world of the Pacific Islands. Woven into his narrative are also folk stories about the plants. Of the Naupaka, he writes: \"Hawaiian legend says that the half flower came about when a scorned maiden grabbed a flower and tore it in half. She told her lover she would not see him again until he brought her a full flower, but he never did. From that time on, Naupakas have had only half a flower and the lover died of a broken heart.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sunstone Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45115829616791,"sku":"9780913270912","price":1661.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780913270912.webp?v=1767900182","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/native-trees-and-shrubs-of-the-hawaiian-islands-an-extensive-study-guide-9780913270912","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
