> A princess was forbidden to marry her true love, a fisherman, because he

> giving one half to him and keeping the other half for herself. She then
> returned to the mountains where her family lived. Broken-hearted, they both

> two forms of naupaka – the beach naupaka (naupaka kahakai) and the mountain
> naupaka (naupaka kuahiwi).

> Another version:
> It is said that two lovers, greatly devoted to each other, came to the
> attention of the Goddess Pele. Pele found the young man desirable and

> lovers remained devoted to each other.
>
> Angered, Pele chased the young man into the mountains, throwing molten lava
> at him. Pele's sisters witnessed this and to save the young man from a
> certain death they changed him into the mountain Naupaka. Pele immediately
> went after the young woman and chased her towards the sea - but again Pele's
> sisters stepped in and changed the young lover into beach Naupaka.

> It is said that if the mountain Naupaka and beach Naupaka flowers are
> reunited, the two young lovers will be together again.
