Book Description
Excerpt from A Record of Forest Plantings in Hawaii No sustained efforts have been made to maintain organized records of all introductions throughout the Islands. Nor has an organized attempt been made to evaluate their adaptability on the many different sites in Hawaii. Among the many hundreds of introductions are possibly some valuable sleepers. Similarly, some potentially valuable species that could and should be brought in have, no doubt, been overlooked.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Provisional Check List of Some Common Native and Introduced Forest Plants in Hawaii Any mistakes are our own, and we recognize that this list leaves opportunities for refinement. For example, when one or more Hawaiian names are given to different Species, we have somewhat arbitrarily listed one of these as the preferred name and the others in parentheses. Would a different choice be better? Until such questions are settled, we hope this list will prove acceptable as interim attempt to clarify and standardize local usage.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Forests of the Hawaiian Islands On the island of Oahu the algaroba forest, covering densely about acres, extends in a narrow, almost continuous belt along the south and west coasts. In this situation it is fully protected from the northeast trade winds, which blow with great regularity from March to November - exposure to which it can not endure. The young trees are now growing in great numbers as high as feet above the sea. It is supposed by some people that algaroba is able to grow at this eleva tion only by gradual adaptation. Starting at sea level, the trees were at first acclimated Only to an elevation of a few hundred feet, but successive generations growing higher and higher up the slopes have at last produced trees which are able to grow at the altitude named. Indeed, since the trees now found at feet are all young and thrifty, it seems probable that they will extend much farther up the mountain slopes than they have yet done. On the other islands the algaroba occupies the same relative position, reaching up the dry slopes to an elevation of several hundred feet. The land which it has taken possession of is usually so stony, arid, and precipitous as to be utterly worthless for other purposes. There fore the advent of this tree is generally welcomed by the landowner. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Indigenous Trees of the Hawaiian Islands It has long been the writer's desire to give to the public a volume on the native trees of Hawaii, giving popular as well as technical descriptions of the trees peculiar to Hawaiian soil. At first it was thought that plain popular descriptions would suffice, but it soon became evident that the technical part could not be dispensed with, and in order to make the look valuable for both the layman and the scientist, it was therefore included. The rather lengthy introduction seemed an advisable featured and necessary, as it gives practically for the first time a more or less detailed description of all the floral regions and their plant associations found in this island group, not being restricted to trees alone but embracing the whole plant covering. In the sequence of families Engler and Prantl's Naturliche Pflanzenfamilien System has been followed, beginning with the Cryptogams and ending with the Composite. Under each species a complete reference and synonomy is given, as far as was possible. Of course, as in all works of this nature, mistakes will undoubtedly be found, which will have to be overlooked on account of the insular position of the writer, as it was not always possible to consult original works, some of them old and out of print and therefore unobtainable. It will not be out of place here to acknowledge the kind assistance of Miss Mary A. Day, the Librarian of the Gray Herbarium, for the loan of books and copies of articles, etc. Following the reference is a technical description, usually enlarged and based on material in the College of Hawaii Herbarium; only in such instances as when the plant is very common or has not been collected by the writer, are descriptions of old authors quoted. As far as possible native names are given under most of the trees in italics, as well as any legendary or other facts of sufficient interest, together with habitat, plant association, etc. Of a number of trees of which nothing is known of a popular nature, the technical side is enlarged upon, especially in the family Rutaceae (genus I Pelea) and Campanulaceae (tribe Lobelioideae). The writer wishes here to acknowledge above all the kind assistance of Prof. Dr. Ignatz Urban of Berlin. Prof. Le Compte of Paris, Prof. Dr. A Zahlbruckner of Vienna and Profs. H. L. Robinson and M. L. Fernald of Harvard, in the loan of herbarium material, mainly types, for comparison, without which the authenticity of many determinations would have been doubtful; this refers mainly to the tribe Lobelioideae of the family Campanulaceae, one of the most intricate tribes found in this Islands.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Ornamental Trees of Hawaii The nomenclature has been kept strictly in accordance with the laws laid down by the last Botanical Congress held at Vienna in 1905 and not according to horticultural dealers or gardeners, who simply apply a familiar name to a plant for the sole purpose of selling it more easily. 'this accounts for the many species of Kentia, while in reality none of the palms on the market as such have anything whatsoever in common with species of that rare genus. Nomenclature of such type belongs to commercial botany. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Some Observations on Hawaiian Forests and Forest Cover in Their Relation to Water Supply A paper by W. M. Giffard read before the Joint Committee on Forestry of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association and the Territorial Board of Agriculture and Forestry. The Nature and Peculiarities of the Wet Forests of Hawaii and the Cause of Their Deterioration and Decline. Much has been written on this subject and at first thought it may appear quite unnecessary that further explanation be made of the composition and nature of the Hawaiian forests that are needed for drainage or the conservation of water supply. It is, however, very apparent that there are still a number of individuals in the Territory that up to the present have ignorantly, carelessly or wantonly disregarded the oft repeated warnings of foresters and botanists as to the necessity for protecting these forests. Clearings continue to be opened up through the encroachment of man and beast, and the forest in places is still being pushed back by the making of clearings and roads to these that ought never to have been permitted. Elsewhere, the cutting of the forest for posts and for firewood is still going on, and again, where wild cattle and hogs are at large in the forest, general destruction is caused by their roaming around grubbing and feeding on and trampling down the herbaceous undergrowth so necessary for soil and water protection. It is well understood by all having knowledge of the peculiar nature of these virgin forests that much of their natural undergrowth, composed as it is of climbing vines (lianes) and herbaceous plants, ferns and mosses, not only protects the soil from erosion but furnishes a protective cover for the surface growing roots of our indigenous trees. Take for instance the native Ohia Lehua, which attains such fine growth in these wet forests and of which they are in the main composed. No observing person passing through such a forest can have failed to notice the peculiar stilt-like roots of the Ohia. This characteristic habit of growth is explained by the epiphytic habits of the Ohia. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
