Description
This women's tee is made from 6.1 oz 100% ring-spun US cotton in a boxy, slightly cropped mid-length cut. It features a topstitched ribbed collar, shoulder-to-shoulder twill tape, a seamless body, and a double-needle bottom hem. Dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes in a WRAP-certified facility, using a salt-free clean pigment process that uses about half the water of conventional pigment dyeing. Boxy fit, sizes S–2XL — it runs close to the body, so size up for a looser drape. Slight shade variation between garments is normal.

Meet Hawai'i blue-eyed grass
Sisyrinchium acre H.Mann
Despite the English name Hawaiʻi blue-eyed grass, this small island endemic has yellow flowers. It is an iris relative rather than a true grass. When flowers are absent, the bluish-green colour and flat leaves held upright in one plane help distinguish it from grasses sharing its habitat.

Seasonal development
Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park
The park handbook reports summer flowers and fruits, based on specimens in the park herbarium. Hawaiʻi Cooperative Studies Unit: Rare Plant Handbook, Sisyrinchium acre
Native range
It is endemic to East Maui and Hawaiʻi. The park handbook places it mainly between about 1,550 and 2,950 metres, with some lower records. Habitats include subalpine dry shrubland and bog margins; in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park it occurs among scattered ʻōhiʻa lehua trees and native shrubs.
