Amau fern
Add to Cart Add to Lightbox DownloadThe `ama`uma`u or `ama`u for short, is a common fern found in the wet forests of Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park. The fern typically has red fronds when young for protection from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. The fronds gradually turn green with age and gray when they die. The fern is a member of the Blechnum fern family and is endemic to Hawai`i. Halema`uma`u, the fire pit within Kilauea caldera, means “the house of `ama`uma`u fern.” This fern was photographed on a connector trail between the Byron Ledge and Devastation trails near the Kilauea caldera.
