This one will be really short because I do not want to spend half a day researching stuff. Flora: Native rainforest are full of plants so Ill just throw in some here I feel might be good inspiration.

Hawai'i silverswords - old lived, bloom only once and then die

Hawai'i 'Ohi'a Lehua - a polymorphic plant, can be a tree or a shrub, first plant to colonize new lava flows

Acacia Koa - tree used for wood by ancient Hawaiians for canoes, musical instruments, wood carving and containers - like bowls.

Taro - important food crop

Lotus - well not exactly but a lotus like edible aquatic plant.

Besides that edible plant introduced by people who first colonized these islands included: sweet potatoes, yams, breadfruit, baking bananas, coconuts, kava kava, candlenuts and sugarcane. Different kinds of seaweed were also used for food.

Theres tons of vines, orchids, ferns and mosses in the rainforest. Palm trees are there Fauna: The islands have been isolated from land for a long time, so most of the native animals there are invertebrates and birds. There are also few kinds of reptiles.

(Pictured: Red-Footed Booby, North Cardinal, Rock Dove, Green Iguana, Mottled snake-eyed skink, Yellow-bellied sea snake, American crow, Hylaeus (yellow-faced) bees, Damselflies, Coleotichus blackburniae, Hawaiian hoary bat)

Specifically spotlighted: Smiley face spider and giant ducks - not pictured bc i Made them up(because i like ducks)

There have been a few species of rodents and pigs that have been introduced when humans first colonized the island.

For aquatic animals we got coral reefs, fish, crabs, shrimp, molluscs, seals, sea serpents and many more.
