"Panini" is a cactus, and lei of kikania(which is a variety of thornapple) is the traditional lei of Kaluapapa, which was the leper colony--it is considered to be a lei for losers, and is bad luck for those running for political office--malahini haole, in case you didn't know, and forgot to ask, is a a white person who has just come to the islands.
