Argyroxiphium sandwicense subsp. macrocephalum x Dubautia menziesii, commonly known as the Dubautia-silversword, is a hybrid species of silversword plant in the family Asteraceae, and is a part of the silversword alliance.[1] The hybrid was formed between Argyroxiphium sandwicense subsp. macrocephalum and Dubautia menziesii, which are both species of plant native to the Haleakalā Shield Volcano, Maui, primarily in the Haleakalā Crater,[2] that grow in alpine and subalpine zones.[3][4]
