Download or read book The Ornamental Trees of Hawaii written by Joseph F. Rock and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ornamental Trees of Hawaii During a residence of more than nine years in these lovely Islands, the writer has had opportunity in his connection with the Board of Agriculture and Forestry and the College of Hawaii, as Botanist, to devote all his time and lately part of his time to the study of the Hawaiian Flora. It is true he was not interested until lately in the introduced ornamental plants of Hawaii, but made the native Flora his specialty. The result of part of the writer's research was published under the title "The Indigenous Trees of the Hawaiian Islands." Many have been the requests, however, for a non-technical volume treating the ornamental shrubs and trees of Hawaii and Honolulu especially, the need of which has long been felt. The writer took it upon himself to prepare such a book, which at first seemed an easy task. He was, however, sadly mistaken. While some of the trees did not give much difficulty as far as their identity was concerned, others again proved more elusive, especially such as belong to genera with numerous species. It took many journeys to all the by-ways of Honolulu in search of plants, and often the writer was told that in such and such a yard there was a tree which seemed to be the only one in Honolulu. Often the tale proved to be true, and occasionally it was a false alarm. It may be stated that the plants treated or mentioned in this volume are represented by specimens in the College of Hawaii Herbarium, and that they have been critically worked up. They have not been cited from mere hear-say, but specimens were examined in every instance. The nomenclature has been kept strictly in accordance with the laws laid down by the last Botanical Congress held at Vienna in 1905 and not according to horticultural dealers or gardeners, who simply apply a familiar name to a plant for the sole purpose of selling it more easily. This accounts for the many species of Kentia, while in reality none of the palms on the market as such have anything whatsoever in common with species of that rare genus. Nomenclature of such type belongs to commercial botany. While the tide of this book is a modest one it gives more information than is announced on the cover. The writer has treated not only the ornamental trees, but also shrubs and in addition has mentioned the fruit trees and ornamental vines.
