Haw. Code R. § 4-42-18
"Clean" means practically free from dirt or other foreign matter, except that small amounts of dirt inside the bracts which cannot be removed by good commercial methods of washing shall be permitted;
"Damage" means any defect which materially affects the appearance or shipping quality of the heliconia. Any defect or combination of defects affecting an aggregate area exceeding one-half inch in diameter shall be considered as damage, unless such defect or combination of defects is on the stem or is otherwise inconspicuous;
"Fairly well developed" means one bract is at least slightly opened and the flower is visible;
"Heliconias" means the inflorescences of the several species of the heliconia plant, consisting of the stem, bracts, and flowers;
"Intact" means the heliconia has all parts normally present and these parts are whole, except that flowers may be removed;
"Properly trimmed" means both ends of the stem are cut off neatly and the length of the stem below the spike is at least six inches;
"Serious damage" means any defect which seriously affects the appearance or shipping quality of the heliconia. Any defect or combination of defects affecting an aggregate area exceeding three-fourths inch in diameter shall be considered as serious damage, unless such defect or combination of defects is on the stem or is otherwise inconspicuous;
"Well developed" means at least two bracts are open and show some evidence of flower development; and
"Well formed" means the shape of the heliconia varies no more than slightly from the shape normal for the variety, and the bracts are plump and not straggly for 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 heliconias 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.
