Flora

Hawaiʻi’s flora is a lush tapestry of vibrant colors, exotic scents, and rare endemic species. The islands are home to approximately 1,400 plant taxa (species, subspecies, and varieties) native to the Aloha State, and nearly 90% of these plants are found nowhere else in the world. From dense tropical rainforests to sun-kissed coastal dunes, Hawaiʻi’s plant life is a stunning display of resilience and beauty, deeply woven into the islands’ culture and traditions.
