The naio plant
is found in the 4th grade garden which is located by the
Kalama dining hall.
It can survive
in almost any habitat. It can be found all the way the way
from coastal plains to the high reaches of Mauna Kea.
It is an indigenous
plant which means that it came to Hawaii by itself,
but it is also found in other places of the world.
