Pandanus tectorius
The expanse of land in Kahana Valley from the sea to the mountains contains many different vegetation zones. The lowlands consist of koa ("Acacia koa"), hibiscus, hala ("Pandanus tectorius"), and pasture. Further up the valley, in the wetter areas, the dominant vegetation consists of mountain apple ("Syzygium malaccense"), strawberry guava ("Psidium littorale"), ti ("Cordyline fruticosa") and bamboo.
