# Two initials, an ocean crossing

A Hawaiian trial selection found another life in Florida collections.

ST Maui — Hawaii → Miami-Dade County, Florida

A name on the map

Tropical Acres’ grower account traces ST Maui through the University of Hawaii’s evaluation programme under the label S-T. Richard Hamilton sent it to Richard Campbell in Florida, where it entered mango collections despite not receiving a Hawaiian recommendation.

The account says the letters are someone’s initials, rather than an abbreviation for “Saint,” but does not identify the person. Proposed Piri ancestry is also speculative. This is a story with a documented route and an unfinished name: two researchers passed a tree onward, while part of its label still needs recovering.

## The names it answers to

**ST Maui / S-T**

A selection label reported from Hawaiian evaluation records.

**St. Maui**

A catalogue spelling; “Saint Maui” is not an established explanation.
