Hibiscus or Pua Aloalo
(Hibiscus Brackenridgei)
In 1950, Hawaiians were anticipating statehood and there was renewed interest in Hawaiian symbols. A resolution was introduced which stated, Hawaii’s official flower shall be the ilima, the flower of old royalty. It was claimed that ilima leis had always been symbolic of Hawaii.
In 1959, nearly thirty years later, Hawaii became the fiftieth state. But Hawaii still didn’t really have an official flower since the ilima had never been officially adopted and the hibiscus had never been changed from the territorial flower to the state flower. On June 6, 1988, the native hibiscus, or Pua Aloalo was officially adopted as Hawaii’s state flower.
