Endemic Plants of Kipahulu Valley, Maui, Hawaiian Islands. Hawaiian Plant Studies 36

Abstract

Much of the mountain Haleakala on Maui is of easy access and has a flora quite well known. Kipahulu Valley is an outer valley at the southeast corner of the great volcano. It is remote, difficult of access, and its middle and upper parts have a dense, wet, virgin vegetation. An attempt is now being made to acquire title to it and to preserve it as a wilderness or nature preserve.
