Naupaka kuahiwi or Chamissos' scaevola GoodeniaceaeEndemic to the Hawaiian Islands (Molokai, Lnai, Maui, Hawaii Island)Hawaii Island (Cultivated)Early Hawaiians used the fruits of naupaka kuahiwi to produce a purplish black dye. The fragrant flowers were used in lei making.The Legend:In ancient times, one version goes, there was a beautiful Hawaiian princess known as Naupaka. One day, the villagers noticed that Naupaka looked very sad. They told her parents, who approached Naupaka and asked her what was troubling her.I have fallen in love with a man named Kaui, replied the princess. But Kaui is not of noble birthhe is a commoner. According to Hawaiian tradition, it was strictly forbidden for members of royalty to marry people from the common ranks.Distressed, Naupaka and Kaui traveled long and far, seeking a solution to their dilemma. They climbed up a mountain to see a kahuna who was staying at a heiau (temple). Alas, he had no clear answer for the young lovers. There is nothing I can do, he told them, but you should pray. Pray at this heiau.So they did. And as they prayed, rain began to fall. Their hearts torn by sorrow, Naupaka and Kaui embraced for a final time. Then Naupaka took a flower from her ear and tore it in half, giving one half to Kaui. The gods wont allow us to be together, she said. You go live down by the water, while I will stay up here in the mountains.As the two lovers separated, the naupaka plants that grew nearby saw how sad they were. The very next day, they began to bloom in only half flowers.There are different versions of the naupaka legend, but all carry the same unhappy theme: lovers that are separated forever, one banished to the mountains, the other to the beach. www.aloha-hawaii.comView Naupaka kahakai or Beach naupaka www.flickr.com/photos/dweickhoff/5187929027/nativeplants.hawaii.edu/plant/view/Scaevola_chamissoniana
