Since most of us in the islands live in "coastal" areas, this is a highly useful guide to the stuff growing all around us.
Includes color photos of plants, descriptions, their role in ancient Hawaii, scientific data and whether or not the species is endangered. A scarily high percentage of these plants ARE endangered.
It also includes an appendix with maps, glossary and discussion of coastal threats.
