‘Ōhi’a Lehua, Metrosideros polymorpha, is a evergreen shrub of the myrtle family, and endemic to the Hawaiian islands. The name ‘Ōhi’a - Lehua can be translated, literally, as “the flower gathered of fire.”
Metrosideros polymorpha is the very first plant life to have existed in the barren, freshly erupted, islands of Hawai’i. ‘Ōhi’a does not require soil, and therefore her roots will find their way to underground caves and lava tubes where she will feed on the nitrogen rich air in those places. Over the period of thousands of years, her decaying body became the very soil of Hawai’i. This is why we consider her The Mother. From her, came the soil that all other plant species thrived from.
