Byron's Bay was named for Captain George Anson Byron (1789-1868), a British naval officer, and the seventh Baron Byron, cousin of the poet George Gordon Byron. Admiral Byron came to the islands on the H. M. S. Blonde to bring to their final resting place the remains of Kamehameha II and his queen, Kammalu, who contracted and died of measles on a visit to Great Britain.nativeplants.hawaii.edu/plant/view/Ischaemum_byrone
