There are other kinds of maile, but they are foreign mailes. I do not know their names. There is one plant by Mr. Bishop’s gate. Some kinds of maile also grow on the plains in weeds; it has fine hair. When preparing the fishes known as palani129 and maikoiko,130 this plant is used to do away with the strong smell, rubbing its leaves in among the fish. Perhaps you know about this. This plant still grows on the plains.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
