Aloha MissGardener, or Budw as your page says,

Are you sure you have the spelling correct? I did a search on line and came up with nothing. I did look on University of Hawaii's site, native hawaiian plants and found a fern named
'ama'u, Sadleria pallida. Perhaps that's the one. Lots of pictures and great info too.

Do you live on Oahu like me?

Here is a link that might be useful: UH Native Hawaiian plants

Sadleria cyatheoides ('ama'uma'u) is what you're looking for - and there are another four or five endemic Sadleria species also found on the islands. Like a miniature tree fern, but with a more rapidly colonising habit - especially forest clearings, ditches and roadsides, even fresh lava flows high up on the crater rims.
