Native plants! 2013.

There are many descriptions of plants and their uses and where they grew, found in the Hawaiian-Language Newspapers.

Check out this site from Kapiolani Community College and Leeward Community College, described as:

The goal of Native Plants Hawaiʻi (NPH) is to create and establish a single, comprehensive and searchable online knowledgebase of endemic and indigenous plants of Hawaiʻi.

NPH seeks to connect local nurseries to landscape architects and home growers to promote the purchase, use and understanding of local native plants. Information is constantly updated by participating nurseries and plant specialists.

Hopefully they will be able to integrate relevant articles from the Hawaiian-Language Newspapers into their descriptions!
