The National Tropical Botanical Garden is a Hawaii-based nonprofit devoted to tropical plant research, conservation, and education, with gardens and preserves in Hawaii and Florida and headquarters in Kalāheo on Kauaʻi. Chartered by Congress in 1964 as the Pacific Tropical Botanical Garden and later renamed, it maintains major sites on Kauaʻi, Maui, and in Coconut Grove, Florida. Its living collections include the largest assemblages of native Hawaiian plant species and breadfruit cultivars, while its preserves support habitat protection, scientific study, and reintroduction of critically endangered plants. Its work also includes breadfruit conservation, botanical research, and the 2019 rediscovery of Hibiscadelphus woodii.
