Known as Hawaii's state flower, they are commonly grown as ornamental plants in the Hawaiian islands. There are a few remaining in the wild and are considered an endangered species. They were used by Egyptians for hibiscus tea to lower body temperature and treat heart and nerve diseases and by Africans to treat cancer, liver disease, and cold symptoms. The pulp made from the leaves were also applied to the skin to heal wounds. Native to the Hawaiian islands, they represent royalty, communicated power, and respect.
