A survey of Hawaiian medicinal plants in the East Rift Zone of Kilauea Volcano

At the request of True Geothermal Energy Company we conducted a survey to determine which plants used in Hawaiian medicine were found in the Puna Geothermal Area along the East Rift Zone of KIlauea volcano. This Is the geographic area in the Puna Districtof the island of Hawaii which was surveyed in 1984/1985 with the results reported by Charand Lamoureux (1985a). This area is delineated on the map identified as Fig. 1. The sources of information were the lists of plants included in Charand Lamoureux (1985a) and in the several supplemental reports which have been been prepared subsequently for True Geothermal and/or Mid-Pacific Geothermal, and submitted by them to the State Board of Land and Natural Resources: Charand Lamoureux (1985b); Lamoureux. et af (1987, 1990a. 1990b), Lamoureux (1990c).True Geothermal Energy Compan
