Ahinahina Haleakala Silversword Affirms Five-0's O 'Oe, A 'Owau

Summary: Ahinahina Haleakala Silversword acts as arcanely as an abduction witness and as serial crimes on Five-0's O 'Oe, A 'Owau, Nalo Ia Mea Dec. 6, 2019.

Ahinahina Haleakala silversword attests to arcane acts, akin to Hawaii Five-0 police procedural television series episode O 'Oe, A 'Owau, Nalo Ia Mea: You and Me; It Is Hidden Dec. 6, 2019.

Director Kristin Windell and writers Paul Grellong and Rob Hanning build the tenth season's tenth episode around baffling behavior after an abduction and in three deaths. The series' 228th episode overall cleaves Tamiko Masuda (Brittany Ishibashi) from Adam Noshimuri (Ian Anthony Dale), childhood chum, current companion and Hawaii Five-0 Task Force Officer. Adam distances himself from the Hawaii Five-0 Task Force, whose members display dismay over the disturbing discovery of three deaths, apparently disconnected but actually deeply interdependent.

The abduction and the homicides emerge as enigmatically as the establishment of desert plants in a lush volcanic crater where enemy ants eat beneficial pollinating bees.

Carbon dating furnishes 5.2 million years ago as the arrival date of the transpacific ancestors of the silversword alliance of 30 species in the Hawaiian islands.

Three ahinahina Hawaiian silversword species gather on Hawai'i as Mauna Kea (Argyroxiphium sandwicense subspecies sandwicense) and Mauna Loa (A. kauense) silverswords and on Maui as Haleakala silversword. Land, predation, time, water and weather hide why Hawaiian silversword headed water- and wind-herded seeds into such a high, hostile habitat as Haleakala National Park crater. The Asteraceae (from Latin aster, "star" and -āceae, "resembling") aster, daisy and sunflower family member, identified as 'āhinahina ("grayest") of Haleakalā ("the sun's house"), increases sexually.

Ahinahina Haleakala silversword, judged scientifically by Asa Gray (Nov. 18, 1810-Jan. 30, 1888) and Alain Khiem Meyrat (born July 17, 1952), journeys through perennial life cycles.

Old age kindles one-time flowering for one-time seeding in the 50- to 90-plus-year life cycle of ahinahina Haleaka silversword, also known locally as East Maui silversword.

Ahinahina Haleakala silversword, with 6- to 8-foot- (1.83- to 2.44-meter-) long stalks of 100-plus magenta 1-inch (2.54-centimeter) diameter flowers, looks more broad-headedly flower-clustered than Hawai'i counterparts. Argentine ants (Linepithema humile) moved with immigrants and imports into the Hawaiian islands, where since 1967 they menace yellow-faced bees (Hylaeus haleakalae) pollinating ahinahina Haleakala silversword. The scientifically named Argyroxiphium sandwicense subspecies macrocephalum (from Greek άργυρος, "silver," ξίφο, "sword" and Latin sandwicense, "Sandwich Islands" and macrocephalum, "large-headed"), nets insect-attracting, moisture-conserving, sunlight-reflecting foliage.

Ahinahina Haleakala silversword organizes gelatin-like, moisture-conserving material in the intercellular spaces within downy, fine-haired, silver-gray, silky, spiky, sticky leaves injured grievously, irreparably by human skin oils.

Ahinahina Haleakala silversword possesses a well-anchored, wind-resistant taproot vulnerable just below the surface-posed base of its dense, low-growing, 2-foot (0.61-meter) diameter rosette of radiating, spiky-leafed branches.

The 40,000-plus ahinahina Haleakala silversword population queues up photogenically around Haleakala National Park's 4- to 6-mile (6.44- to 9.66-kilometer) Sliding Sands Trail, Kalahaka Overlook and summit. International Union for Conservation of Nature vulnerability status recognizes climate change, illegal collecting and invertebrate pests at 5,000- to 10,000-foot (1,524- to 3,048-meter) altitudes above coastlines. It survives annual 19.69- to 31.49-inch (50- to 80-centimeter) rainfall and an annual mean temperature of 51.8 degrees Fahrenheit (11 degrees Celsius) in volcanic cinder soils.

Ahinahina Haleakala silversword and Argentine ants track to time-, water-, wind-traveling California tarweeds and southeasternmost America without telling, unlike Hawaii Five-0, why their treks terminated together.
