Leptecophylla tameiameiae , known as pūkiawe or maiele in the Hawaiian language , is a species of flowering plant that is native to the Hawaiian and Marquesas Islands .[3]
The specific epithet honors King Kamehameha I , who formed the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi . It grows as a tree up to 4.6 m (15 ft ) tall in forests and as a shrub 0.9–3 m (3.0–9.8 ft ) in height elsewhere. Its small needle-like leaves are whitish underneath, dark green above. The round berries range in color from white through shades of pink to red.[2] Pūkiawe is found in a variety of habitats in Hawaii at elevations of 15–3,230 m (49–10,597 ft ), including mixed mesic forests , wet forests , bogs , and alpine shrublands .[4]
Ecology [ edit ]
Pūkiawe is a hardy, adaptive, and morphologically variable plant that occupies a variety of ecosystems, from dry forest up to alpine bogs and shrublands.[5] Despite being common, it is difficult to propagate, taking months to years for seeds to germinate and growing very slowly.[6]
The nēnē and other birds eat the berries of this shrub and thus distribute it.[6]
Human Uses [ edit ]
Native Hawaiians would inhale ground leaves of the pūkiawe to treat congestion, and used the fruit to make lei .[4]
Hawaiian nobility used the smoke of pūkiawe to modify their mana before interacting with people of lower caste.
[7] [5] The bodies of executed criminals were cremated on pyres of pūkiawe to drive the mana from their bones and ensure their ghosts were harmless.[5]
