1 - Jan McEwen, Maui Master Gardener Coordinator, identified the shrub as one known as snowbush in Hawaii (Breynia disticha 'Roseopicta').

2 - Rosemarie Armstrong ~Imperial Beach, CA - also said it could be another species, Breynia nivosa, Snow Bush. One with pink in the foliage has been called Fire on the Mountain, so someone could've used Snow on the Mountain as a common name, although confusing with others going by the same name.
