	Invasion and Recovery of Vegetation after a Volcanic Eruption in Hawaii (Chapter 8)
		On the two habitats with no remains of an earlier vegetation (i.e., on the crater floor, 1 and the cinder cone, 2), native woody seed plants were the third life form to arrive and exotic woody and herbaceous plants were the last.
		Metrosideros trees survived under a pumice blanket slightly deeper than 2.5 m in habitat 5.
		In habitat 3, all Metrosideros trees were severely damaged by the glowing-hot spatter that became welded upon deposition.

	Metrosideros polymorpha ('Ohia lehua)
		Forms of Metrosideros polymorpha are found in almost all Hawaiian ecosystems ranging from lowland dry shrub lands to rain forests, from high elevation bogs to dry lava flows.
		Drake found that Metrosideros polymorpha seeds germinate at any constant temperature from 50 to 93 degrees F. However, the fastest germination was at a temperature of 72 degrees and the slowest at 93 degrees.
		Metrosideros polymorpha seeds should be sown while they are fresh since storage greatly reduces seed viability.

		Metrosideros is from the Greek and means ironwood alluding to the hardness of the timber and excelsa is Latin and means tall or high.
		The Metrosideros genus also occurs on the islands of Hawaii and some of these plants have been available here for the last 15 years or so and are variously known as Metrosideros collina var.

	Botany Photo of the Day: Metrosideros excelsa 'Fire Mountain'
		Once fairly widespread in coastal areas of the North Island of New Zealand, the population of plants is in decline.
		Despite its decline in New Zealand, the plant is flourishing in South Africa – so much so that it is now considered an invasive alien; Our Native Plant Invaders from the Royal New Zealand Institute of Horticulture has more on this threat to the fynbos.
