    Cyanea st.‐johnii, a member of the bellflower family (Campanulaceae), is an unbranched shrub with a woody stem 30 to 60 cm (12 to 24 in) long. The leaves are lance‐shaped to inversely lance‐shaped, 6 to 13 cm (2.4 to 5.1 in) long and 1.5 to 2 cm (0.6 to 0.8 in) wide. The leaf edges are thickened, smoothly toothed, and curl under. The flowering stalk is 5 to 15 mm (0.2 to 0.6 in) long, with 5 to 20 flowers. The hairless, white petals, 3 to 6 cm (1.2 to 2.4 in) long, are suffused with pale violet in the inner surface. This species is distinguished from others in this endemic Hawaiian genus by the length of the leaves, the distinctly curled leaf margins, and the petal color.
