Pua Kala; Hawaiian Prickly Poppy; Argemone glauca Pua kala grows on the leeward side of all the main islands in dry, subalpine and coastal forests, and lava deserts. Its seeds can stay viable and dormant for up to ten years until the ground is disturbed by raking , or bulldozing. Because of this "weedy" habit, many people pull it out mistaking it for a thistle, the primary reason for pua kala being considered a "threatened" species.
