[edit]DescriptionLama Matriarch (5516466827) (2).jpg |
Diospyros sandwicensis Lama or Ēlama Ebenaceae Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands North Kona, Hawaiʻi Island, 2000 ft. This is Hawaii's native persimmon. The edible fruit of lama, called piʻoi, were eaten by early Hawaiians. www.flickr.com/photos/dweickhoff/7980879927/ Primarily, the hard wood was used. Early Hawaiians used lama sticks (ʻaukā) to strengthen large one-way-in-no-way-out fish traps. Lama lama means torch, which were used at night for fishing. The wood was used for the framework of houses, temple construction, and handles for stone chisels. Lama wood was used as medicine. Huts (pupupu hale) were made in a single day of the wood during the daylight (lama) hours and the sick were placed inside them for curing. The dark wood was also placed on altars as the name suggests for enlightenment. Inside a hālau hula was an altar (kuahu) on which a block of lama (Diospyros sandwicensis) was placed. The wood represented the goddess of hula, Laka. The semi-sweet fruit is enjoyed by hikers and backpackers today. The wood is occasionally used in modern wood working today. A modern-day section of Honolulu, a school, and a canal are all named Kapālama, means "the lama wood enclosure," where high chiefs were protected. Pālama, a street and another section of Honolulu, means "lama wood enclosure." nativeplants.hawaii.edu/plant/view/Diospyros_sandwicensis |
