It would be a plant that is not native. Hawaii would be unrecognizable without
the nonnative plants and animals that thrive there now (coconut palms,
hibiscus, just about any garden and landscape plant, mesquite/kiawe, guava,
banana, papaya, avocado, mango, and so forth). Pigs and coqui frogs are a
disaster. I wish people had been more careful. The mongoose was introduced to
control rats and mice, and they out-ratted the rats. Seems they like the
native birds too.
