Phyllostegia hirsuta, also known as Molokai phyllostegia or hairy phyllostegia, is a flowering plant in the mint family that is native to Hawaii and can only be found on the island of Oahu. This federally listed endangered species is a subshrub or vine with oval-shaped leaves covered in hair and glands. Its white flowers have a purple tint on the upper lip. The plant is mainly found in the Waianae and Koʻolau Mountains, with a total of nine populations and approximately 160 mature plants. Although some populations have disappeared, the plant may reappear in the future due to its underground soil seed bank. The main threats to this species are feral pigs and introduced plants. The United States Army, which operates in the plant's habitat, is working to protect some of the populations.
