Description
'Ilima or Sida fallax is indigenous on Kaua'i, across the Hawai'ian archipelago, and on a number of other Pacific Islands. This member of the Malvaceae has a special place in the hearts of Polynesian peoples. Prized for making leis, and it can take over 500 flowers to make a single one. Grows flat against the ground on dry, rocky coast, or as a shrub in forests... Known to be loved by mischievous spirits and inspire general naughtiness. 'Ilima taxi anyone? Native Hawai'ian beauty.Related content
