Hibiscadelphus
''Hibiscadelphus'' is a genus of flowering plants that are endemic to Hawaii. It is known by the Native Hawaiians as ''hau kuahiwi'' which means "mountain Hibiscus". The Latin name ''Hibiscadelphus'' means "brother of ''Hibiscus''". It is distinctive for its peculiar flowers, which do not fully open. ''Hibiscadelphus'' is in the family Malvaceae, subfamily Malvoideae. Several of the species in this small genus are presumed extinct. Description ''Hibiscadelphus'' was first described by Austrian-American botanist Joseph Rock in 1911 on the basis of the species ''Hibiscadelphus giffardianus''. Species in this genus are large shrubs or small trees, up to tall, with nearly circular leaves. The genus is characterized by flowers that never open to the flat form of ''Hibiscus'', but remain folded together in a tubular form. This is presumed to be an adaptation to pollination by honeycreepers. The fruits are rough capsules containing up to 15 hairy seeds. The lateness of its discovery ...

Hibiscadelphus Distans
''Hibiscadelphus distans'' (Kauai hau kuahiwi) is an extremely rare species of flowering plant in the mallow family, Malvaceae, that is endemic to the island of Kauai in Hawaii. It is known as hau kuahiwi in Hawaiian, which means "upland ''Hibiscus tiliaceus''." It is a bush or small tree with heart-shaped leaves and yellow flowers and grows at between 1,000 and 1,800 feet (300 and 550 m) in the remnants of native dry forests. Despite its rarity, it is believed to be the only surviving species in the genus ''Hibiscadelphus'' which is only known from Hawaii, the other five species having recently become extinct in the wild, some being known from only a single plant. Description ''Hibiscadelphus distans'' is a shrub or small tree up to tall with smooth bark and a rounded crown. The heart-shaped leaves are in length and have rounded serrations on the margins and stellate trichomes (star-shaped hairs) on the upper on lower surfaces.

Hibiscadelphus Stellatus
''Hibiscadelphus stellatus'' is a species of flowering plant in the mallow family, Malvaceae. It is called stellar hau kuahiwi in the United States Department of Agriculture PLANTS database. It is endemic to West Maui, Hawaii. It was first formally described in 2014.

Malvoideae
Malvoideae is a botanical name at the rank of subfamily, which includes in the minimum the genus ''Malva''. It was first used by Burnett in 1835, but was not much used until recently, where, within the framework of the APG System, which unites the families Malvaceae, Bombacaceae, Sterculiaceae and Tiliaceae of the Cronquist system, the aggregate family Malvaceae is divided into 9 subfamilies, including Malvoideae. The Malvoideae of Kubitzki and Bayer includes 4 tribes: *Malveae ('' Abutilon, Alcea, Malva, Sidalcea'' etc.) *Gossypieae (''Gossypium'', the cottons etc.) *Hibisceae (''Hibiscus'' etc.) * Kydieae *- and two unplaced genera:- **'' Jumelleanthus'' **'' Howittia'' The genus '' Alyogyne'' was once included in the genus ''Hibiscus'' but is not included there anymore. It is not placed in the Hibisceae either and some resources, such as the GRIN include it in the Gossypieae. The GRIN also excludes ''Thepparatia'' from the Gossypieae.

Native Hawaiians
Native Hawaiians (also known as Indigenous Hawaiians, Kānaka Maoli, Aboriginal Hawaiians, First Hawaiians, or simply Hawaiians) ( haw, kānaka, , , and ), are the indigenous ethnic group of Polynesian people of the Hawaiian Islands. Hawaii was settled at least 800 years ago with the voyage of Polynesians from the Society Islands. The settlers gradually became detached from their original homeland and developed a distinct Hawaiian culture and identity in their new isolated home. That included the creation of new religious and cultural structures, mostly in response to the new living environment and the need for a structured belief system through which to pass on knowledge. Hence, the Hawaiian religion focuses on ways to live and relate to the land and instills a sense of communal living as well as a specialized spatial awareness. The Hawaiian Kingdom was formed in 1795, when Kamehameha the Great, of the independent island of Hawaiʻi, conquered the independent islands of Oʻ ...
