The hawaiian island of Kaho'olawe recognizes the hinahina (native beach heliotrope - Heliotropium anomalum, var. argenteum) as the official island lei material. Other names: hinahina ku kahakai, nohonohopuuone, pohinahina (Boraginaceae). Each hawaiian island adopted an official color and an official island flower or lei material in 2000.
