Hibiscus waimeae, A. Heller, (Hawaiian kokiʻo keʻokeʻo or kokiʻo kea) is a Hawaiian gray-barked tree, 6-10 meters tall, with white flowers that fade to pink in the afternoon.

Two subspecies are recognized: H. waimeae hannerae (rare and listed as endangered) found in northwestern valleys of Kauai, and H. w. waimeae occurring in the Waimea Canyon and some western to southern valleys on Kauai. This species closely resembles H. arnottianus in a number of characteristics.
