"Beatrice Krauss was a beloved ethnobotanist who spent a great deal of her lifetime studying Hawaiian plants and their uses.... Each of the 30 plants covered here has its own chapter with a nicely consistent set of information for each one. Included for each plant are: notes on the plant family, ecosystem and the history of its arrival in Hawai'i; a physical description and drawing; general (non-medicinal) uses; ancient uses and contemporary uses." - Hawaii Island Journal"
