Ohi'a Lehua Tree The tree gets its name from the Legend of 'Ohi'a and Lehua. 'Ohi'a was a handsome young warrior who fell in love with the fair Lehua. Peleâ, the Volcano Goddess, was also attracted to the young warrior, but he refused all of Peleâ advances. Peleâ persisted and finally, in a fit of rage, she transformed 'Ohi'a into a gnarled tree. Lehua, broken by the loss of her lover, pleaded to the gods for help, but Peleâ curse could not be undone. In order to reunite the lovers, Lehua was transformed into flowers on the gnarled 'Ohi'a tree. It is said that if one takes the Lehua flowers from the 'Ohi'a tree, the clouds will burst into tears and form rain from the parting of the lovers.
