  3. Hawaii's official state plant is kalo (Colocasia esculenta; taro).
  4. Indiana Senate Resolution 59 (2009) made sugar cream pie (renamed "Hoosier Pie") "unofficial state pie" in 2009.
  5. New Mexico's official state question, "Red or green?", refers to chilies. The official answer is, "Red and green, or Christmas."
