^{page 357 note 5} Botanical materials, mostly carbonized, were identified by Douglas Yen, Ethnobotanist and Peter van Royen, Botanist at the Bishop Museum, Honolulu. The tree genera were identified from fragmentary remains of seed pericarp. Cucumis was represented by one seed, and Lagenaria by a number of fragments of fruit exocarp. The bean identifications were made on two whole carbonized seeds. The individual structure which first suggested a seed of Pisum might equally be representative of a form of Palmae. Although common names have been used to describe the remains, the tentative nature of the identifications and the allowance for genetic changes in species in time have obviated the use of equivalent Linnean binomials.
