Naio
Naio is a hardy shrub native to Hawaii, typically found in coastal regions and forests. It comprises dense, evergreen foliage and bears small, white flowers that exude a subtle fragrance. The leaves are glossy, elongated, and succulent, adapted to conserve water in its arid habitat. This resilience allows naio to act as a critical stabilizer for island ecosystems, preventing soil erosion and offering refuge to local wildlife.
