Neleau, Neneleau, or Hawaiian sumac
Anacardiaceae
Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands
Hoʻomaluhia, Oʻahu
A natural population growing on the edge of the Hoʻomaluhia Gardens.
Neleau was used in making calabashes by early Hawaiians. In more modern times, the light but tough, yellowish-gray wood of neleau was once used as saddle trees on ranches and to make plows and yokes for oxen by ranchers.
The wood is described as yellowish-gray with dark resinous streaks, light weight, coarse-textured, and tough.
