About

Stenogyne angustifolia is a rare species of flowering plant in the mint family known by the common name narrowleaf stenogyne. It is endemic to Hawaii, where it is known from the island of Hawaii; it has been extirpated from the islands of Molokai and Maui.

This species was formerly divided into several varieties. In 1979 var. angustifolia was federally listed as an endangered species of the United States. None of the varieties are considered valid today; the species has no subtaxa. The species as a whole retains the federal status given to var. angustifolia.
