I was hiking with a group up to the Konahuanui summit, the tallest peak in the Ko'olau mountain range on O'ahu, this past weekend and along the way spotted a group of what appears to be at least some type of Iholena (you can see the reddish undersides on at least one of the plants). We didn't go over to them, but if we can find a safe route, I may go try and take a look at them closer before the semester is over. Below are photos of the plants and Google Earth images of where the group is as indicated by the green ovals (with the coordinates being accurately pinpointed).
