A non-traditional MAXICARD. "Vaccinium reticulatum, known as ʻŌhelo ʻai in Hawaiian, is a species of flowering plant in the heather family, Ericaceae, that is endemic to Hawaii." Ashes to ashes...but ʻŌhelo ʻai can go to ashes, too. "Adaptations to volcanic activity include the ability to survive ash falls of over 25 cm (9.8 in) depth." - Wikipedia

"Vaccinium reticulatum, known as ʻŌhelo ʻai in Hawaiian, is a species of flowering plant in the heather family, Ericaceae, that is endemic to Hawaii. It grows at altitudes of 640–3,700 m (2,100–12,100 ft) on lava flows and freshly disturbed volcanic ash on Maui and Hawaiʻi, and less commonly on Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, and Molokaʻi. Adaptations to volcanic activity include the ability to survive ash falls of over 25 cm (9.8 in) depth." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27Ohelo
