Geranium cuneatum, or silver geranium, is a medium alpine shrub endemic to the islands of Hawai'i and Maui, where it grows in high elevation shrubland near or above the treeline. Like other geraniums native to Hawai'i, it is known as hinahina in Hawaiian.[2]

Four varieties of G. cuneatum have been described, one of which is found only on the higher slopes of Haleakalā.[3]
