''Lauhala'', ''lau'' meaning "leaf" in the Hawaiian language, refers to the leaves of the hala tree ''(Pandanus tectorius)''.〔 〕 ==Uses== The hala tree is of great cultural, health and economic importance in many Pacific Islands. The fruit of the tree is used as a food source in many Pacific Islands. The fruits are often consumed fresh or as a preserved food while the trunks of ''P. tectorius'' can be used as building material, and leaves for thatching.〔 Though many parts of the hala tree are utilized, in Hawaii the most common use of Hala is the leaves.
