Description: This coconut palm woodland is currently sampled from three national historical parks in Hawaii, and this description is based on occurrences there. Additional global information will be added as it becomes available. These woodlands are found on gently sloping to flat sites on recent lava or beach. This woodland community has an open tree canopy dominated by <i>Cocos nucifera</i>. <i>Thespesia populnea, Pandanus tectorius, Prosopis pallida</i>, and <i>Tournefortia argentea</i> may be present in the canopy and/or subcanopy in small amounts. Shrub strata are absent to sparse and may, when present, include the above-listed taxa, <i>Morinda citrifolia</i>, and <i>Scaevola sericea</i>. The herbaceous stratum is similarly absent or sparse with <i>Batis maritima, Fimbristylis cymosa, Melinis repens, Passiflora foetida, Pennisetum ciliare</i>, and <i>Sesuvium portulacastrum</i> possibly present.
