Kaʻena Point is located on the western tip of the island of Oʻahu.This particular form of ʻohai survives only here in this very restricted area. Habitwww.flickr.com/photos/dweickhoff/5188545262/in/photostream/ʻOhai were one of the favored lei flowers by early Hawaiians. On Niʻihau, they called this plant ʻohai o Papiahuli, the meaning is unknown.ʻOhai are still used today in lei and strung much like other native pea-like flowers, such as ʻāwikiwiki, māmane, nanea, nuku ʻiʻiwi, and wiliwili.EtymologyThe generic name Sesbania is derived from sesban, the Arabic name for Sesbania sesban (syn S. aegyptiaca), Egyptian rattlepod.The specific epithet tomentosa means "furry" or literally "covered with matted hairs," though not all forms are furry._____* In the Northwest Islands ʻohai is found on Necker (Mokumanamana) and is a rather common component in the shrubland on Nīhoa (Moku Manu).NPH00005nativeplants.hawaii.edu/plant/view/Sesbania_tomentosa |
