Miss Way also taught music at Hilo High School and McKinley High School before retiring from the public school system to conduct private piano and organ lessons. Among her pupils at Mc­ Kinley High School was the Reverend Abraham A. Akaka. "She has been an organist for various churches in the Islands and was an active member of the prestigious Morning Music Club.

  • Conservation Status of the Hawaiian Endemic Fern Diplazium Molokaiense (Athyriaceae) in Honomanu, East Maui, Hawai’I

R. Wood* National Tropical Botanical Garden, 3530 Papalina Rd, Kalaheo, Kaua’i, Hawai’i 96741, USA ABSTRACT: Diplazium molokaiense W. J. Rob is one of Hawai’i’s rare and endangered endemic fern species. This paper summarizes its conservation status with information concerning its historical and current distribution and its morphology, habitat, and ecology within the Honomanu region of the Nature Conservancy’s Waikamoi Preserve, East Maui. With 303 of Hawai’i’s plant taxa federally listed as endangered there is an urgent need to conduct rapid biological assesments of remote insu- lar ecosystems and to make conservation collections of the endangered flora. Poorly known species such as D. molokaiense could easily become extinct without receiving special attention, while this biodiversity of many tropical areas is rapidly disappearing before having been adequately surveyed.

  • The Kahana Valley Ahupua'a, a PABITRA Study Site on O'ahu
    The Kahana Valley Ahupua‘a, a PABITRA Study Site on O‘ahu, Hawaiian Islands1 Dieter Mueller-Dombois2 and Nengah Wirawan3 Abstract: The acronym PABITRA stands for Pacific-Asia Biodiversity Tran- sect, a network of island sites and conservation professionals collaborating throughout the Pacific-Asia region. An ideal PABITRA site is a broad landscape transect from sea to summit. Such a landscape is Kahana Valley on Windward O‘ahu. Kahana Valley served during prior centuries as an ahupua‘a, a Polynesian unit of land management that integrated the three biological resource zones, the upland forests, the agriculturally used land below, and the coastal zone, into a sustainable human support system. Results of terrestrial biodiversity surveys, as begun with a vegetation/environment study and a paleoecological investigation, are presented in relation to historical land use and sea level changes. In spite of the many former human-induced modifications of the Kahana Valley landscape, the natural structure and function of its ecosystems are well preserved. The dis- tribution patterns of vegetation can be interpreted in terms of Hawaiian ecolog- ical zones in combination with the valley’s precipitation, topography, stream system, and archaeological features. Currently, efforts are under way to restore the Kahana State Park (recently renamed Ahupua‘a ‘O Kahana State Park) as a functional ahupua‘a. In addition, focused collaborative research can yield helpful information for further restoration and integrated management of the Kahana ahupua‘a as a historic Hawaiian Heritage Site. The PABITRA (Pacific-Asia Biodiversity functions but also to investigate their rela- Transect) network aims to include broad tionships as a landscape unit.

  • Best Native Plants for Landscapes
    Ornamentals and Flowers Mar. 2008 OF-40 Best Native Plants for Landscapes Melvin Wong Department of Tropical Plant and Soil Sciences his publication discusses native Hawaiian plants for Cordia subcordata (kou) use in landscapes. A plant is considered native if it Dodonaea viscose (‘a‘ali‘i) arrivedT in Hawai‘i without the assistance of man. Plants Erythrina sandwicensis (wiliwili) that are native to Hawai‘i may also occur elsewhere—a Gardenia brighamii (nänü) native plant is considered indigenous if it is found in Freycinetia arborea (‘ie‘ie) other places as well. Some native plants, however, are Heliotropium anomalum (hinahina) endemic—they occur naturally only in the Hawaiian Hibiscus arnottianus var. punaluuensis Islands. (koki‘o ke‘oke‘o) Native plants used in landscaping should be both Hibiscus calyphyllus (ma‘o hao hele) aesthetically attractive and easily maintained. Because Hibiscus clayi (H. Clay hibiscus) aesthetic taste varies considerably among individu- Hibiscus kokio subsp. Saintjohnianus (hä‘ena red) als, and because many native Hawaiian plants are not Ipomoea pes-caprae widely adaptable and may be difficult to maintain, the Jacquemontia ovalifolia subsp. Sandwicensis plants suggested here are included based on the author’s (pä‘ü o Hi‘iaka) personal taste and standards for ease of maintenance in Metrosideros polymorpha (‘öhi‘a lehua) landscapes. Myoporum sandwicense (naio) Recently the erythrina gall wasp has been extremely Nephrolepsis cordifolia (kupukupu) damaging to most Erythrina species including the native Osteomeles anthyllidifolia (‘ülei) Erythrina sandwicensis, which has been valuable for dry- Pandanus tectorius (pandanus) area plantings. It is possible that biological control may Pittosporum confertiflorum (hö‘awa) eventually be effective in controlling the gall wasp.
