  • Notes

    Registered in 2022. These specimens provide baseline information about the natural environment of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. These collections display the remarkable diversity of the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. The scope of the collection encompasses: specimens from within the boundaries of the park and immediately adjacent to the park; specimens from the island of Hawaiʻi which, because of the dynamic nature of the plants, may become species of concern to resource management in the future; specimens from other islands in the Hawaiian chain of interest for genetic/evolutionary research and/or of interest due to future possible migration to the park; and specimens from the greater Pacific region of interest for their historic or evolutionary ties to the flora of Hawaiʻi.
