Lyon Arboretum. It is up the Manoa Valley, near the
trailhead to Manoa Falls, on Oahu. Unfortunately (for me),
it is only open when I am at work -- that is to say,
weekdays only, closed weekends and holidays. That section
of the island, however, is of particular interest -- the
Manoa Valley/ Mt. Tantalus area has a much greater diversity
of introduced aroids growing wild than I have seen anywhere
else in the Islands.

The Audubon Center in Waimea, Oahu has extensive botanic
gardens, with many specimens of the extinct-in-the-wild
Hibiscus brackenridgei. But I doubt they are available for
distribution.
