Aloha Brooks, this one sure looks like Anoectochilus sandvicensis, the Hawaiian jewel orchid. keep checking it for flowers.Im almost positive thats what it is. sorry I cant link to photos the smithsonian's pictures. They seem to have the best habit shots (other than mine), at least one shot was from the ola'a forest on their site. Ive got some good ones on my site they are on the d-h page under the hawaiian name hono hono. aloha Jupiter
