Another subject of consideration concerns the famous bambu groves. At Kuikuilaumania, Hawaii, is a famous bambu grove; it is near the sugar mill of Kaupakuea, at Hilo. The reason that grove is famous is because there are found fine large sized bambus; it is there also that bambus are gotten which are used in circumcising the Hawaiian youths; that is why the name of the grove is also called Homaikaohe.55
