Along the Piiholo Ranch gulches, well
point out native bushes, such as Pukiawe and Kopiko (in the
coffee family), verdant ferns, like the rare Hapuu,
prolific Amau, Uluhe, Kupukupu, and Palapalai (used
by hula dancers). In our deep gulches, which youll walk
by, weve found Wauke (used for making tapa cloth). Some
biologists have told us they have seldom seen it growing in
the wild. There is also Halapepe (sacred to hula), Iholena
(The Banana), Hoi (The Bitter Yam), the Hawaiian yam and some
taro. Youll also see Manono, a small tree belonging
to the coffee family, and makaloa which was used for making
woven mats.
