For cultural reason!! This is Tonga's national Flower. HEILALA.
In special occassions in Tonga, Heilala is very much sacred and used for necklaces for special people in any occasion. It is Tonga's only endemic plant. It is hardly to grow because if you plant a seed it will take months before it grows. It must be planted in moist area. Heilala therefore is hardly harmed by locals due to its cultural importance and difficult to grow.
