Haw. Code R. § 4-42-24
"Damage" means any defect or combination of defects which materially affects the appearance or shipping quality of the lycopodium spray. More than a light spore formation at the tips of the branches shall constitute damage;
"Fairly well formed" means the spacing of the branches on the stem does not cause the spray to present a straggly appearance; the lowest branch is not more than five inches from the lower end of the stem; there are at least six fairly well developed branches on a twenty inch lycopodium spray and proportionately larger numbers of branches on longer lycopodium sprays; and the general formation is fairly typical of the variety;
"Injury" means any defect or combination of defects which more than slightly affects the appearance or shipping quality of the lycopodium spray. Removal of broken or damaged tips from the lower branches, which does not materially affect the general appearance of the lycopodium spray, shall not constitute injury;
"Length" means the distance from the cut end to the tip of the stem at the opposite end of the plant;
"Lycopodium sprays" means the stems, branches, leaves, and cone (strobili) of the club moss Lycopodium cernum;
"Properly trimmed" means the stems have been severed neatly;
"Reasonably intact" means no branch above the lowermost branch has been removed;
"Serious damage caused by removal of branches above the lowermost branch" means branches have not been neatly removed or more than two branches have been removed;
"Well colored" means the lycopodium spray is uniformly green in color and there are no brown areas present; and
"Well formed" means the branches are fairly uniformly spaced on the main stem; the lowest branch is not more than five inches from the lower end of the stem; there are at least six well developed branches on a twenty inch lycopodium spray and proportionately as many well developed branches on longer or shorter lycopodium sprays; and the general appearance is typical of the variety.
Unless otherwise specified, the minimum length of lycopodium sprays shall be twenty inches.
In order to allow for variations incident to proper grading and handling, not more than five per cent, by count, of the lycopodium sprays in any lot may fail to meet the requirements of this grade.
