Mauna probably refers to the Rocky Mountains. The Mormons may have brought this sweet potato to Hawaiʻi in the 1860s. It is called lahaina on Maui, kahului on Maui and Molokaʻi, and maui on Hawaiʻi. Noted for vigor, adaptability, and productivity. It has a large tuber with brownish skin, a thick vine, and a large, heart-shaped leaf. Favored by Hawaiians. (NP 128, 134.)
