The Kamehameha butterfly ("Vanessa tameamea") is one of the two species of butterfly endemic to Hawaii, the other is "Udara blackburni". The Hawaiian name is pulelehua. This is today a catch-all native term for all butterflies; its origin seems to be "pulelo" "to float" or "to undulate in the air" + "lehua", "reddish," or "rainbow colored," probably due to the predominant color of the "Metrosideros polymorpha" flower: an animal that floats through the air, from one "lehua" to another. Alternatively, it is called lepelepe-o-Hina – roughly, "Hina's fringewing" – which is today also used for the introduced monarch butterfly.
