Phyllostegia brevidens
Phyllostegia brevidens is a shrub in the mint family, endemic to Hawaii, where it grows in wet tropical forest on the Big Island and East Maui. It is a wild native rather than a garden plant, so cultivation advice is limited.
Phyllostegia brevidens, the Mauna Kea phyllostegia, is a plant species in the family Lamiaceae first described in 1862. It is found on Hawaii (Big Island) and on Maui.
