An introduced plant, and not recorded by Hillebrand. It is 

 most abundant in Nuuanu valley on the outskirts of Honolulu,

 the Tantalus road. A thin leaved, glaucous plant, with scarlet 

 flowers.

Hillebrand mentions this species as "gregarious in parts of

 Waimea, Kauai, at elevations of 1500 to 4000 feet. A simple 

 stemmed, leafy perennial, often six feet high. The leaves are

Growing with the preceding, but a more slender and less
