The Hawaiian Monk Seal sleeps in the Scaevola association. This is 
particularly noticeable on the south and west sides of the island even 
in area where the grade from the beach is fairly high. Areas in the 
Sca evola are kept open due to these behavioral traits of the seals. 
In these areas Trlb ulus , Boerhaavl a^ and Portulaca are found as seedlings 
and mature plants.
