  • Polyscias Pinnata1
    Fact Sheet FPS-489 October, 1999 Polyscias pinnata1 Edward F. Gilman2 Introduction Balfour Aralia is usually seen in its variegated form of glossy, light green leaves with irregular milk-white markings at its margins (Fig. 1). The stiffly upright growth habit, comprised of many stems, works well as a hedge or screen, or as a specimen. It grows nicely in a container for patio or terrace. The plant may thin out at the bottom as it grows older. Prune several of the older stems to the ground to encourage thicker foliage near the base.

  • Attachment 1 PROPOSAL for the PIA NATURAL AREA RESERVE
    Attachment 1 PROPOSAL FOR THE PIA NATURAL AREA RESERVE February 2021 I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The mauka (upland) portion of Pia Valley, on the island of Oʻahu, is proposed for inClusion in the State of Hawaiʻi Natural Area Reserve System (NARS). The proposed Pia NAR Contains unique lowland mesiC (moist) eCosystems in the leeward Koʻolau mountains, and habitat for extremely rare plants and animals. Some plants and animals in the proposed Pia NAR are found nowhere else in the world. This parcel was generously donated to the Department of Land and Natural Resources by landowner PatriCia Godfrey. II INTRODUCTION (General) This Reserve would inClude an area of approximately 300 aCres of Pia Valley mauka of the Hawaiʻi Loa and Niu Valley subdivisions up to the Koʻolau Crest in the Hawaiʻi Kai region of Oʻahu, TMK 3-7-03:03 (Figure 1). The proposed NAR Contains ʻŌhiʻa and uluhe-dominated forests (US Dept. of Interior, 2006; Figure 2). The inClusion of this area into the NARS would inCrease the representation of Oʻahu’s lowland mesiC eCosystems. There are reCords of 29 rare speCies found in the area or historiCally known from the area (see Appendix 1). The proposed Reserve falls within Federally- designated CritiCal Habitat for 17 speCies. GeologiCally, this area is a hanging valley that is less eroded than nearby valleys. This may explain why there is a higher diversity of native speCies and fewer weeds.
