Kanaloa kahoolawensis
''Kanaloa kahoolawensis'', the ''Ka palupalu o Kanaloa'' or ''kohe malama malama o kanaloa'',〔USFWS. (''Kanaloa kahoolawensis'' Species Profile )〕 is a species of flowering plant in the legume family, Fabaceae, subfamily Mimosoideae, tribe Mimoseae, and is endemic to Hawaii. ''Kanaloa'' is a monotypic genus with the only species ''Kanaloa kahoolawensis''.
==History==
''Kanaloa'' was discovered in 1992 by the botanists Ken Wood and Steve Perlman of the National Tropical Botanical Garden on Kahoolawe, a small island that was formerly used as a bombing range. Kahoolawe was a penal colony for the Hawaiian monarchy from 1826 to 1853, after which it was leased for ranching. Dry weather and ranching have devastated the island's vegetation. Only two wild plants of ''Kanaloa kahoolawensis'' have been observed growing on the island.〔 The genus and species were formally named by Lorence and Wood in 1994.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ntbg.org/plants/plant_details.php?plantid=6731 )〕 The genus name honors the Hawaiian deity Kanaloa, who according to legend used the island to rest and regain his energies.〔 Scholars and native Hawaiian activists both agree that Kanaloa is from the original name "Kohemalamalama O Kanaloa"., which translates as the place or womb for the resuscitation of Kanaloa.〔 According to Lorence & Wood (1994), Kanaloa means, "secure, firm, immovable, established, unconquerable...Such attributes are certainly essential for this plant to have survived in spite of the severe degradation of the island".〔 The specific epithet ''kahoolawensis'' is from the island Kahoolawe where the first species was discovered.〔
