SILVERSWORD PLANT
in Full Bloom. |
| Silversword
is beloved and striking. These beautiful plants grow at high altitudes -Mount Halealaka |
| One of the most amazing of all these Hawaiian endemics is the silver sword
(Argyroxiphium sandwicense ssp. macrocephalum) |
| that only grows in the
cinders of Haleakala Crater on the island of Maui. The rosettes of sword-shaped leaves are covered with silvery hairs |
| that reflect light and heat and provide insulation against the intense solar radiation and extreme
aridity of this 10,000 foot (3,000 m) volcanic mountain. |
