Haw. Code R. § 4-42-26
"Damage" means any defect which materially affects the appearance or shipping quality of the leaves. Any defect or combination of defects affecting an aggregate area exceeding one inch in diameter on a medium size leaf shall be considered as damage. Small leaves shall have lesser areas of defects and large leaves may have greater areas, provided that such defects do not affect the appearance of the leaves to a greater extent than that caused by defects which are permitted on a medium size leaf;
"Fairly well formed" means the leaf may be slightly abnormal in shape but not to the extent which it materially affects appearance;
"Monstera leaves" means the leaves of the species Monstera deliciosa or Philodendron pertusum;
"Properly trimmed" means the stem has been cut off neatly and the stems are at least six inches in length on small leaves, nine inches in length on medium leaves, and twelve inches in length on large leaves;
"Serious damage" means any defect which seriously affects the appearance or shipping quality of the leaves. Any defect or combination of defects affecting an aggregate area exceeding one and one-half inches in diameter on a medium size leaf shall be considered as serious damage. Small leaves shall have lesser areas of defects and large leaves may have greater areas, provided that such defects do not affect the appearance of the leaves to a greater extent than that caused by defects which are permitted on a medium size leaf;
"Size" means the greatest distance between any two points on the monstera leaf, exclusive of the stem;
"Well colored" means the leaf is characteristically and uniformly dark green in color;
"Well developed" means the leaf is full grown and reasonably tough in texture. Small leaves which have characteristic indentations but do hot have characteristic holes or slots are well developed; and
"Well formed" means the leaf is symmetrical and has the normal shape of the variety.
In order to allow for variations incident to proper grading and handling, not more than a total of five per cent, by count, of the monstera leaves in any lot may fail to meet the requirements of this grade, but not more than two-fifths of this amount, or two per cent, shall be allowed for defects causing serious damage.
In order to allow for variations incident to proper grading and handling, not more than a total of five per cent, by count, of the monstera leaves in any lot may fail to meet the requirements of this grade.
In order to allow for variations incident to proper sizing, not more than a total of ten per cent, by count, of the monstera leaves in any lot may vary from the size specified, but not more than one-tenth of this amount, or one per cent, shall be permitted for leaves which are more than one inch smaller than the size specified.
