Hawaiʻi's Native Plants Mutual Publishing
Almost 90 percent of Hawai'i's native plants do not occur anywhere else in the world, and today many of these unique plants face extinction as a result of abuse by humans and invasions of alien species. In Hawai'i's Native Plants, Dr. Bruce A. Bohm describes the threats these plants now face and the possible effect of
pests whose impact remains to be seen. The discussion in this work is invaluable in answering the question of what ean be done to protect what remains of Hawai'i's precious natural heritage.
