Note 88 — CONTENTS. (continued 3)

There are other matters, but that is the story concerning the banana field, and how the famous places were designated. In the eastern portion of this field of bananas stands a large stone, and it is called Pohakuhaele.88 This stone was called by that name because of the wanderings of the person referred to above. Piikea89 brought it from Hawaii and left it there, and it is there today. In the northern portion of the banana field are the canes of Piimaiwaa.90 They are there to this day. The banana plants from this field were planted in many other places, some of them on Hawaii, but I do not know their story. Some of them on Oahu, some on Kauai, and that is the curly banana of Kaualehu;91 but the explanations concerning these fields and persons I know not. I have given the story of the field of bananas as it has been told me by older people. Another thing: it is thought that this banana was brought from Kahiki by Ahuimaiaapakanaloa,92 one of the brothers of Pele. That is perhaps where Kahuoi got his banana, and yet again it may have been his own.
