Note 124 — CONTENTS. (continued 3)

The fragrant sisters of Aiwohikupua,124 one of the Kauai chiefs, were named after the maile. These were the names: Mailehaiwale,125 Mailekaluhea,126 Mailelaulii120 and Mailepakaha.127 Some of the famous places also of that island were named after the maile: “the leaping fire of Kamaile,” because maile grew abundantly on those mountain ranges from Nualolo to the precipices of Kalalau, and even unto the valley of the dwarf oopus, Hanakapiai, overlooking the fire-hurling precipice of Makena, where Haena128 inhales the wind. This is the one plant familiar to these mountains, the maile.
