About

Geranium cuneatum, or silver geranium, is a medium alpine shrub endemic to the islands of Hawai'i and Maui, where it grows in high elevation shrubland near or above the treeline. Like other geraniums native to Hawai'i, it is known as hinahina in Hawaiian.

Where it grows

Geranium cuneatum is endemic to high elevations on the slopes of the volcanoes Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Hualālai, and Haleakalā. It is frequently encountered above the tree line and grows up to at least 3200m elevation on Mauna Kea and Haleakalā.
