'Red Iholene' on the mainland is 'Iholena Lele' (pronounced ee-ho-leh-nah leh-leh), and the 'White Iholene' is a reduced color sport. Below are photos of mature 'Iholena Lele' in Hawaii (it is a Hawaiian cultivar).

There are a fair number of varied Iholena cultivars throughout the Pacific but a few are available on the mainland (Iholena Lele (red and white forms), Ha'a ha'a (I think may be a dwarf form of Lele and not the true Ha'a ha'a of old Hawaii), and Kumunamba which is a Iholena from Papua New Guinea).
