Clermontia lindseyana is a rare species of flowering plant in the bellflower family known by the common name hillside clermontia. It is one of several Hawaiian lobelioids in genus Clermontia that are known as `oha wai. This plant is known only from Haleakalā, a volcano on the island of Maui, and Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, volcanoes on the island of Hawaii. This is a federally listed endangered species of the United States.

There are ten known total occurrences of the plant and probably fewer than 1000 individuals remaining.[1] Threats to the species include disturbance by domesticated and feral ungulates and ratsdeforestation, and invasive plant species
