Silversword - 'Ahinahina

Description:
(Argyroxiphium sandwicense), found only within the
crater and on the outer slopes of Haleakala National Park in Maui,
Hawaii is a sunflower relative. Silvery hairs protect the leaves of
this plant from high levels of ultraviolet radiation in the intense sun
of its high-elevation (above 7000 feet) habitat. The rosette-like plant
grows vegetatively for 25 to 50 years or more then sends up a 2 to 4
foot flowering stalk, flowers once, sets seed and dies. Believed near
extinction in the 1920's due to goat browsing and removal of
silverswords as souvenirs by early visitors, this species has thrived
under the protection within Haleakala National Park and now numbers
about 50,000 plants.
