Jill is well known in the international world of Hibiscus and has an in depth knowledge of the Hawaiian species. H. clayi / ©David Eickhoff H. kokio / ©Bill Schmidt Recent University of Hawai'i genetic DNA analysis of the various endemic (native) Hawaiian hibiscus has determined that there are four unique species of Hawaiian reds: H. clayi, H. kahilii, H. kokio, and H. saintjohnianus. Hawaiians refer to all of these as Koki'o 'ula'ula. H. kahilii / ©Rick Barboza H. saintjohnianus / ©David Eickhoff HIBISCUS INTERNATIONAL 1 H. arnottianus / ©Hawaii Horticulture H. immaculatus / ©kahaokaaina.org H. punaluuensis / ©Daviid Eiickhoff H. waimeae / ©Forest and Kiim Starr H. hannerae / ©Daviid Eiickhoff The various native white hibiscus are now recognized to be: H. arnottianus, H. immaculatus, Hibiscus waimeae, H. punaluuensis, and H. hannerae. Hawaiians call all of these Koki'o ke'oke'o. Many think that these have all evolved from a single seed brought by a bird. HIBISCUS INTERNATIONAL 2 H. brackenridgei / ©KarllM We have another endemic species of Hibiscus: H. brackenridgei, known in Hawaiian as Ma'o Hau Hele. It can sometimes become a small tree growing up to 30 feet tall. The fuzzy leaves have toothed edges, 3, 5, or 7 lobes, and are up to 6 inches long/wide. Most of these Hibiscus have become quite rare in the wild, and several are classified as endangered.

    BIOLOGY | GHOST | FLOWERS | The genes of Hawaiian plants, extinct for more than a century, have been brought back from the dead. Today we can smell their scents By Rowan Jacobsen Photographs by Floto + Warner 30 Scientific American, ebruaryF 2019 BACK FROM THE BRINK: The Wynberg conebush (l eft ) went extinct in 1806, and Maui’s mountain hibiscus (r ight ) followed in 1912. But their DNA has been recov­ ered, and some rejuvenated scent genes are once again producing fragrances. The hibiscus, sniffed by people for the first time in more than a century, evokes bark and juniper, with hints of citrus and thyme. February 2019, ScientificAmerican.com 31 Journalist Rowan Jacobsen is author of several books, such as Shadows on the Gulf (Bloomsbury, 2011) and The Essential Oyster (Bloomsbury, 2016), and many magazine articles. He was a 2017–18 Knight Science Journalism Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. n 1912, on the ancient lava fields of haleakala– on the hawaiian island of Maui, a single tree stood near death. Fifteen feet tall, its bark encrusted with lichens, it was down to its last flower. The Hawaiians called this tree hau kuahiwi, the mountain hibiscus. Unlike the more familiar Hawaiian hibiscus, which grows in moist valleys and opens wide in a welcom- ing aloha, the mountain hibiscus grew only on the dry, well-drained lava fields of Hawaii’s volcanoes. The plant unfolded only two of its five hibiscuslike petals, keeping the rest closed in a demure, curved tube designed for Maui’s honeycreepers—nectar-eating Isongbirds with curved bills that were its favored pollinators.

  • Hibiscus Around the World
    Hibiscus Around the World Letters to J.W. Staniford from Ross H. Gast Published by the AMERICAN HIBISCUS SOCIETY 1980 The transformation of ornamental hibiscus from obscure species to its present high state of cultivation is due to the work of amateur hybridizers rather than formal genetic research by plant scientists. It is to these men and women, creating beauty in their own gardens the world over, that this book is humbly dedicated. La Mesa, California March 1, 1980 Dear Reader: As this little volume is a series of communications between two friends deeply involved in the improvement of ornamental hibiscus, it seems quite appropriate that the usual introduction found on the lead pages of most books be presented in the form of a letter to the reader. After all, anyone interested in ornamental hibiscus is a friend of the writer and, therefore, a joint addressee of the letters reproduced herein. First in order is a presentation of the leading characters. The reader is advised that precedence in naming the first one is not dictated by her knowledge of the genetic history of ornamental hibiscus, but by her charm, and willingness to sacrifice self- interest and conform to the wishes of a somewhat ephemeral husband. I refer to Ella, the little four-foot eleven-inch tall lady I married 57 years ago. While she appreciates the beauty of hybrid hibiscus, her hobby is Yorkshire Terrier dogs. She has been a fancier of the breed since 1933 and has many American and Mexican champions to her credit. Obviously, her service as "Madame Secretary" of the world-wide search for new hibiscus species meant that she had to give up, for the time at least, her own hobby.

  • The Tree Peony, King of Flowers-Gertrude S
    Editorial Horticultural Horrors I am sure we have all read the spectacular advertisements that proclaim "giant climbing strawberries as big as saucers," or "swing your hammock from the 'Miracle Tree'. It grows 12 feet in just one season. " What the ads don't tell, however, is nine times out of ten the strawberry plants arrive dead. If you are fortunate enough to grow a plant, the pea size fruit tastes like moldy lecithin. The "Miracle Tree" is only root hardy in northern climates and dies back to the ground after the first frost. Fraudulent advertising? You bet it is. I have worked with the fraud division of the U. S. Post Office concern­ ing several of the major "horticultural promotions" which are advertised nationally in daily newspapers. The problems and roadblocks preventing this type of misleading advertising are difficult to overcome. Claims: If one reads the ads carefully, all statements may be true under some conditions. The ad usually gives the Latin name to identify the species offered, but it never states the size of the plant or what cultivar (if known) is offered. Fulfillment: I have test ordered climbing strawberry plants five times and have yet to receive a live one. When I write to complain, "the nursery" does not respond. It is hard to do battle with a post office box number! Addresses: Since all these nur~eries use a mail drop, the real business operation is conducted somewhere else. The steps that the post office must go through to check these box numbers requires weeks of red tape.
