| Comments | "Although it cannot be determined with certainty, we hypothesize that there was a population of N. marina L. around Waikiki prior to the construction of the Ala Wai Canal. When the canal was built during the 1920s (Glenn & McMurtry 1995) and the wetlands around Waikiki drained, the Najas population died out. The following collection represents the first verified record of N. marina L. for the state." US 3358959 |
