So this is the second list of 20 plants found in Hawaii. Some are native but most are introduced, and this is the case for most plants growing in Hawaii today. The most commonly seen plants from Hawaii are not from Hawaii. The fruits you eat that are grown in Hawaii are native to somewhere else. It is extremely startling to discover most of the natives are either extinct or take some effort to view in their natural state. So here when the description says the plant is native to Hawaii, that certainly is the exception, unfortunately.
