Iholena Kapua, 11 months to flower.

Unnamed Iholena that also exists on Oahu, possibly elsewhere. Found in a state park in Waimea, Big Island. We call it "Nani" which means beautiful. Beautiful pattern on the underside of new leaves, possibly had cucumber mosaic virus. Long peduncled Iholena variant. Plant looks similar, yet distinct from Kapua. Only 8 months to flower.
