Cyanea leptostegia is endemic to the western side of the island of Kauai in Hawaii. It is still fairly common in places, and is thought to number 7,000-10,000 mature individuals (plus additional juveniles) in an undetermined number of occurrences. The species is threatened by feral pigs, goats, deer, cattle, rats, slugs, and invasive alien plants.
