K.R. Wood & W.L. Wagner (Gesneriaceae), a new shrub species known only from Kaua'i, Hawaiian Islands, is described and illustrated with notes on its distribution, ecology, and conservation status. The new species is morphologically most similar to C.B. Clarke but differs by its unique combination of oblique, non-peltate, auriculate leaf bases, more deeply divided calyx lobes, inflorescence with fewer flowers and lacking profusely umbellate cymes. is known from only two localities which have undergone severe habitat degradation from landslides and invasive plants and animals and is determined to be Critically Endangered (CR) when evaluated under IUCN criteria.
K.R. Wood和W.L. Wagner（苦苣苔科），一种仅在夏威夷群岛考艾岛被发现的新灌木物种，本文对其进行了描述和绘图，并记录了其分布、生态和保护状况。该新物种在形态上与C.B. Clarke最为相似，但不同之处在于其具有独特的斜生、非盾形、耳状叶基部，萼裂片更深裂，花序花较少且缺乏大量伞形聚伞花序。它仅在两个地点被发现，这些地点因山体滑坡以及入侵的动植物而遭受了严重的栖息地退化，根据国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）的标准评估，该物种被确定为极度濒危（CR）。
