Kepler comes to our rescue with this easy-to-use guide and brings alive the kaleidoscopic flora that beautifies Hawai‘i.

The Hawaiian Islands are the most isolated archipelago on Earth. The chance arrival of plants and animals to these rich volcanic islands resulted in the evolution of a host of unique speciesalmost 90 percent of the plants native to this island chain do not occur anywhere else in the world. But the Hawaiian Islands were not to remain as they were. They were discovered by humans, and with the settlers came other invaders. Native species, which had evolved with few natural enemies, had little or no protection. The invasion had begun. The losses suffered have been huge, and until recently, few understood how much was being lost as these biological riches vanished from the Pacific Basin. Focusing on plants endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, Hawaii's Native Plants also includes a sampling of species that occur elsewhere in the Pacific Basin, as well as those brought by early settlers, and other alien species. Dr. Bohm begins with the basic questions island biologists ask: Where is everything? How did it all get here? When did it all happen? The reader will also learn of the islands' fascinating geological history and the development of its native flowering plants and ferns, and the pests that have wreaked or threatened havoc on island biodiversity and others whose impact remains to be seen. The concept of endemism, or "nativeness," is also discussed. The scope of the discussion is invaluable in answering the question of what can we do now to protect what remains of Hawaii's priceless natural heritage.

"Native Hawaiian plants make up a unique flora because of the extreme isolation of the Hawaiian Islands. When the Polynesian settlers arrived, they encountered many plants that they did not know before. Over the course of generations, the Hawaiian people learned how to use the native flora to meet their needs. Along with the crops that the settlers introduced from the South Pacific, native plants became the basis for Hawaiian society and economy. In addition to describing the plants and their habitats, this guide relates the significance that native and Polynesian-introduced plants had to traditional Hawaiian culture, and tells how these plants are still used today." --Back cover.

Common Forest Trees of Hawaii, first published in 1989 as USDA Forest Service Agriculture Handbook 679, is an illustrated reference for identifying the common trees in the forests of Hawaii. Useful information about each species is also compiled, including Hawaiian, English, and scientific names; description; distribution within the islands and beyond; uses of wood and other products; and additional notes. The 152 species described and illustrated by line drawings comprise 60 native species (including 53 that are endemic), 85 species introduced after the arrival of Europeans, and 7 species introduced apparently by the early Hawaiians. One chapter is devoted to forests and forestry in Hawaii. Maps of the Hawaiian Islands show the physical features and place names, major forest types, and forest reserves and conservation districts. Each tree species is illustrated by a full-page line drawing.
