It is endemic to Hawaii, where it is known from the islands of Lanai and Maui. There are fewer than 50 individuals remaining in the wild. It is a shrub with hairy leaves and white flowers. It was federally listed as an endangered species in 1992. Like other Hawaiian Cyrtandra it is called ha`iwale.
The wet forests where this plant occurs are destroyed and degraded by several processes, such as deer and exotic plant species.
