Kamani (Calophyllum inophyllum) is a naturalized tree, brought to Hawaʻi by early Polynesian settlers. It does well when planted in an area that gets full sun but can tolerate dry or wet soils. It produces small, yellow-white flowers that smell similar to orange blossoms.

Kamani wood is known for its strength and has been used to build canoes. It has also been used to make containers, bowls, and other eating utensils because of its durability and does not add any additional taste to food placed in it. Its fruit husks can make a brown/mauve colored dye and its seeds have been used to make a variety of oils.
