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
Scaevola are kept open due to these behavioral traits of the seals.
In these areas Tribulus, Boerhaavia and Portulaca are found as seedlings
and mature plants.
