WHAT DOES OHIA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

ohia

Metrosideros polymorpha

The ʻōhiʻa lehua is a species of flowering evergreen tree in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, that is endemic to the six largest islands of Hawaiʻi. It is a highly variable tree, being 20–25 m tall in favorable situations, and much smaller when growing in boggy soils or on basalt. It produces a brilliant display of flowers, made up of a mass of stamens, which can range from fiery red to yellow. Many native Hawaiian traditions refer to the tree and the forests it forms as sacred to Pele, the volcano goddess, and to Laka, the goddess of hula. ʻŌhiʻa trees grow easily on lava, and are usually the very first plants to grow on new lava flows. The tree itself is referred to as an ʻōhiʻa tree, and the blossoms are called lehua flowers. This distinction comes from Hawaiian mythology, in which ʻŌhiʻa was a handsome warrior and Lehua was his beautiful lover, and they were transformed into a tree and its flowers, respectively.
