Geranium multiflorum is a rare species of geranium known by the common names manyflower geranium,[1] or manyflowered cranesbill. It is endemic to Hawaii, where it is known only from Haleakalā, the main volcano on the island of Maui.[2] It was federally listed as an endangered species in 1992.[3] Like other Hawaiian geraniums, this plant is known as hinahina and nohoanu.[4]
This plant is a
subalpine climate. There are probably no more than 3000 individuals left.[2]
The main threat to this species is the degradation of its habitat by feral pigs, feral goats, and non-native plant species invading the area.[2]
