Note 57 — CONTENTS. (continued 3)

Reading edition

Here on Maui, at Koolau, East Maui, Pohakea57 is the name of a bambu grove: it is also known as Hinai.58 It is a place where the olona is treated at the present time. Why this grove became famous I do not know, but it is the only noted bambu grove that I have heard of here on Maui. Oahu has no famed bambu grove. Kauai is like Oahu; it has no noted bambu grove. Therefore, we know where the bambu came from, that is, through Hina; its place of origin and its uses; and the places of the notable groves hereinbefore mentioned. This is all that I have learned about the bambu.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
