ʻōhā wai

Haw to Eng, Kent (1986),

Native lobelia (family Lobeliaceae), one of the most interesting and characteristic groups of plants in the whole island flora. They are shrubs and small trees, probably survivors of an ancient flora. Hawaiians recognized their striking form and gave names to most of the species. One of the most common is ʻōhāwai, applied indiscriminately to species of the more abundant genus Clermontia. They are known as plants from which the old-time bird catchers made a sticky glue for capturing birds. (NEAL 815.)
