It is from this Flower that the Bees make the sought after Manuka Honey. Not only is it delicious but seems to have some Healing properties .anyway all those Millions of Bees can't be wrong .
More stick figure mayhem, this time at the edge of a pit crater in Manuka State Park.
Sadly, this was the second or third most interesting thing we saw on a multi-mile hike in the park - one of the few missteps we had in choosing our activities. (Don't get me wrong, anywhere else, it would have been a cool hike, but in Hawaii, it suffers by comparison...)
Manuka State Park. Planted tree, looks somewhat like Sapindus saponaria from a distance but the leaves (not actually compound) are alternate. Seeds rattle loosely inside the fleshy fruits. Any ideas?

This section of the Manuka Natural Area showed a remarkable diversity with lush vegetation from the forest floor with its moss and ferns up through the understory of shrubs to the tall canopy trees. There are over 20 species of Myrsine in Hawaii.
