Cibotium menziesii, the hāpuʻu ʻiʻi or Hawaiian tree fern,[2] is a species of tree fern that is endemic to the islands of Hawaiʻi. It is named after the Scottish naturalist Archibald Menzies. It is also known as the male tree fern, and Cibotium glaucum is deemed the female tree fern due to differences in color.[3]
