Description: Vintage Hawaiian Plant Engraving 1885 Indigenous Flowers of the Hawaiian Islands by Mrs. Francis Sinclair, Jr. Ukiuki. (Dainella sandwicense) Uki Uki This Lily Family species has a native range beyond Hawaii into the Pacific. In Hawaii it is an indigenous species that is found in a few different forms. Ive seen some in the ash fields of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park with very light blue berries and white flowers but most have dark blue to purple berries and blue flowers. The early Hawaiians used Uki Uki to make a dye from the juice of the berries. They also made cordage from the leaves. Mrs. Francis Sinclair, Jr. was from the Sinclair-Robinson Family mostly known as owners of the island of Niʻihau for the last 158 years. Today, although the state records list them separately, if you combined the Robinsons’ holdings of nearly 51,000 acres on Kauai and some 46,000 acres on Niʻihau, the family would be the sixth largest landowner in the state of Hawaii. very desirable hand colorized engraving plate size is larger at 10-1/2" by 14-1/4"blank backed comes with text page very detailed creases, wear, staining, foxing, edge nicks, fading, etc. from 137 years of age. This rare piece of Hawaiian history would look great framed! guaranteed authentic and unaltered. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have many other vintageHawaii ~ Polynesia ~ Oceania related items that can be seen here...tamehameha . com Hawaii ~ Polynesia ~ OceaniaBUY / SELL / TRADE ~ Kea'au, Hawaii Vintage 18th, 19th & 20th Century Engravings, Gravures & Lithographs Photographs, CDVs & Cabinets Books, Magazines, Maps & Ephemera, Tobacco Cards & Victorian Tradecards Postcards, Stamped Covers & Letters Press Photos, HI Political, Autographs, etc. Sandwich Islands, Owhyhee, Kalaniopuu, Terreeoboo, Atooi, Tauai, Capt James Cook, Tamehameha, Kamehameha, Jean Francois de la Perouse, John Olohana Young, Kanaina & Poeta, Capt Geo Vancouver, Liholiho, Boki & Kuini Liliha, Jacques Étienne Victor Arago, John Adams Kuakini, Kilauea, Wm Ellis, Hoapili, Wm Pitt Kalanimoku, Queen Kaahumanu, Hiram Bingham I, Asa Thurston, Prince Kauikeaouli, Princess Nahiennaena, Princess Kinau, Davida Malo, G.P.
