Stenogyne cranwelliae, also known as Kohala Mountain stenogyne, is a flowering plant the family Lamiaceae. The plant is endemic to Hawaii.
Taxonomy and naming
[edit]The species was first formally described in 1939 by Earl Edward Sherff, based on specimens collected from Waipio Valley in Kohala, Hawaii in 1938.[2] Sherff named the species after Auckland War Memorial Museum botanist Lucy Cranwell, who was one of the three people who collected the specimen.[2] Stenogyne bracteosa and Stenogyne repens, both described by Harold St. John in 1987, have since been synonymised with S. cranwelliae.[3][4]
Phylogenetic analysis of Hawaiian mints has shown that S. cranwelliae is closelyt related to S. calaminthoides, S. macrantha, S. sessilis and S. rugosa.[5][6]
Description
[edit]Stenogyne cranwelliae has elongated stems which measure approximately 1.5–2.5 mm (0.059–0.098 in) in thickness. It is morphologically similar to S. calaminthoides, but differs by having significantly smaller leaf petioles and a different leaf shape.[2] It grows as a creeping vine, and grows groups of six flowers.[4]
Habitat and range
[edit]The species is endemic to Hawaii, uncommonly found in wet forested areas.[4]
