Aloha all,
I think it is a great idea to work in the Lyon Ethnobotany Section.

Especially with regard to 'Awa you definitely need to contact Kawika
Winter (kwinter@...) who planted a good part of the collection,
and surely can help with an overview before you start mapping.
He was responsible for the ethnobotany section when he still worked
at Lyon, and helped to improve it quite a lot. He was also the person
who brought Halau ku Mana to Lyon, and started the Loi restauration
project.

Greetings,
Rainer Bussmann
