Beach naupaka (Scaevola taccada), a plant that grows to 10 feet, wild, on Hawaiʻi beaches. Its white flowers appear to be split with only half flowers remaining. The half flowers on beach and mountain have given rise to many romantic and sad love stories. For uses: it is sometimes planted at beach houses for ornament, windbreaks, or soil-sand binding. The bitter leaves and bark are used for indigestion and beriberi, the leaves for poultices and cooked greens. Its white berries created the Hawaiian word huahekili (hailstones) as a rare name for the plant. (NEAL 820.)
