This web page was constructed as a project for the Natural History of Hawaii class (BOT450/ZOOL450) at the University of Hawaii, Manoa. This site is divided into five sections.
Brief Introduction To The Hawaiian Islands. Here you will find information regarding the origins and evolution of the Hawaiian Islands, some of the factors that influence life, and how organisms arrived to the islands.
A Visit To Puu Ohia. A closer look at Puu Ohia, a part of the Honolulu Watershed Forest Reserve.
References. A list of references utilized for this project.
Other Links. Search for and check out other web pages related to this topic, such as the Botany Na Ala Hele on Maui and DLNR.
Acknowledgements. Thanks to those that helped with the project.
Comments and Suggestions. Please feel free to make comments and suggestions.
The objectives of this web site are: (1) allow people to have a greater understanding and appreciation of the Hawaiian Islands and (2) document some of Puu Ohia’s plants. This information can then be utilized in the future to monitor the changes in the flora over time.
Grammatical markings of the Hawaiian Language (okina/glottal stop and kahako/macron) were not placed in the text due to the lack of capabilities.
