Leaves are thinly leathery, broadly lanceolate, glabrous, and have weakly revolute margins. Flowers are arranged three to five per verticillaster (an inflorescence that resembles a whorl but consists of two crowded cymes) on either side of the stem and are glandular pubescent within. The base of the straight corolla tube is white while the tubes and lobes are a deep pinkish purple. Nutlets are very dark purple at maturity and are approximately 7.0 to 8.0 millimeters (0.2 to 0.3 inch) long.» Range Information

Historically, this species occurred at Pohakupili near Kealia in the Kealia FR on Kauai. Currently, this species occurs at Honopu, Kalalau, Malamalamaiki, Pohakupili, and Wainiha.
Reproductive Strategy
Little is known about the life history of Stenogyne kealiae. This species has been observed flowering in January, October, and December. Its pollination vectors, seed dispersal agents, longevity, specific environmental requirements, and limiting factors of are unknown.
Other
Stenogyne kealiae was combined into Stenogyne purpurea by Weller and Sakai (1999). Since that publication, additional collections provided information to indicate that this species should not have been combined, and Wagner and Weller resurrected the species.
