Loulu or Hardy's LouluArecaceaeEndemic to the Hawaiian Islands (Kauai only)RareOahu (Cultivated)Loulu, pronounced low-loo, means "umbrella," because the leaves were formerly used as protection from rain or sun.The fruits, called hwane or whane, were peeled and eaten by early Hawaiians. They collected young fruits. The flavor of young fruit with the soft interior is similar to coconut. The trunks loulu were notched for climbing to gather the immature fruits and fronds.
