Pandanus tectorius
Kalani is located on the Red Road (Highway 137 or Kapoho-Kalapana Road), named because it used to be paved with red cinder from the Kapoho eruption of 1960. The road winds along rugged cliffs overlooking the ocean, through tropical rainforest, recent lava flows, and tunnel-like canopies of kamani ("Calophyllum inophyllum"), milo ("Thespesia populnea"), and hala ("Pandanus tectorius") trees.
