Botanical Inventory of Kure Atoll (2001) | Starr Environmental
This survey documents the vascular plant species present on Green Island within Kure Atoll—part of Papahānaumokuākea—conducted in May 2001. A total of 81 species were recorded, including several rare native taxa and numerous new naturalized or non-native introductions. The report offers baseline data crucial for native plant conservation, biosecurity monitoring, and management within one of the most remote Hawaiian ecosystems.

This searchable image archive from Starr Environmental features dozens of high-resolution photographs of the Haleakalā silversword (‘āhinahina), a rare and iconic plant endemic to the summit regions of Maui. Images include rosette growth forms, flowering stalks, habitat context, and seasonal variation. The visual dataset supports conservation education, species identification, and phenology monitoring in Hawaiian high-elevation ecosystems.
Botanical Survey of Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, Kaua‘i (2013) | Starr Environmental
This 49-page unpublished report by Forest and Kim Starr, commissioned by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, presents a comprehensive checklist and summary of vascular plants found at Kīlauea Point NWR on Kaua‘i. The authors conducted walk-through surveys across the refuge, documenting native and non-native species, including several federally endangered and threatened coastal taxa. The paper also discusses vulnerabilities of these plant communities—particularly to sea-level rise and invasive species—and includes detailed appendices for each surveyed segment.
Botanical Survey of Laysan Island, Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge (September 2013) | Starr Environmental
