Uses and Culture

USES

  • Seed capsules used in lei (Abbott 1992:125; Krauss 1993:77) and for scenting kapa due to the strong anise-scent of the plant (Abbott 1992:58; Krauss 1993:70).

CULTURE

  • Ke 'ala laua‘e, ‘ea ‘ea/ ‘O ka pua mokihana, ‘ea ‘ea line in "Na Hala o Naue" "Lei ana i ka mokihana" line in "Maika‘i Kaua‘i" (Elbert & Mahoe 1970).

PROPAGATION/CULTIVATION

  • The fruit of Melicope anisata is a squarish, yellow-green capsule about 1/2 inch long. The capsule has a strong anise fragrance. There are 4 compartments in the capsule and each will have 1 or 2 glossy black seeds about 1/8 inch long.
  • Lilleeng-Rosenberger used a 6 day cold water soak as a seed pretreatment. These seeds took 6 months to germinate.
  • In his germination studies, Obata found that untreated seeds of Melicope anisata had germination rates ranging from 30 to 75%. (Lilleeng-Rosenberger 1996; Obata 1967; Wagner 1990) [Data from Herring, E. C., & Criley, R. A. (2003). The Hawaiian Native Plant Propagation Web Site: Developing a Webbased Information Resource.
