Dianella sandwicensis is a species of flax lily native to Hawaii and New Caledonia.[1] In Hawaiian it is called ʻukiʻuki. Neal (1965) reports that historically, Hawaiians used the berries to make blue dye for kapa. They also used the leaves for thatching house walls.[2] When sterile, Dianella sandwicensis is similar in appearance to Machaerina angustifolia.[3]
