SANDWICH ISLANDS. 91 



nearly tomentbse. This was found both in the islands of Oahu and Oueeheovv, but the preceding five 

 species appear to have been observed in the latter only.

 1. Heliotropium curassavicum. Linn. — Boem. et Schult. Syst. Veget. v. 4. p. 32. Spreng. 

 Syst. Veget. v. I. p. 540. 



There is in the Collection a very slender state of this species from Oahu ; the more common appearand' 

 is from Oneeheow.

 Veget. v. 1. p. 649. Bot. Mag. t. 794. 

 This appears to be cultivated. 



Ord. XXX. CYRTANDRACEiE. Jack. 



1. Cyrtandra cordifolia; foliis subrotundo-ovatis acutis oblique cordatis dentatis supra 

 hirsutis subtus villoso-tomentosis ferrugineis, pedunculis trifloris, calycibus ferrugineo-villosis. 

 Gaud, in Freyc. Voy. p. 446. t. 56. 



2. Cyrtandra grandiflora ; foliis oblongis acuminatis basi angustatis obsolete denticu- 

 latis ciliatis supra glabriusculis subtus pallidioribus, nervo venisque pulverulento-pubescen- 

 tibus, pedunculis apice diphyllis bifloris, calycibus glabris. Gaud, in Freyc. Voy. p. 447. 

 t. 55. 



The specimen is very imperfect, though decidedly the plant figured by Gaudichaud. 



3. Cyrtandra Lessoniana; foliis oblongis acuminatis basi angustatis denticulatis supra 

 puberulis subtus tomentoso-sericeis ferrugineis, pedunculis unifloris bibracteatis, calycibus 

 quinquepartitis subvillosis, laciniis margine undulato-reflexis. Gaud, in Freyc. Voy. p. 447. 

 t. 54. 



There are two varieties in the Collection, one of which has the leaves twice as long as those figured by 

 Gaudichaud. 



4. Cyrtandra Garnotiana ; foliis elliptico-oblongis acutis in petiolum decurrentibus 

 remote serrulatis supra hirtellis subtus molliter tomentoso-pubescentibus canescentibus, 

 pedunculis paucifloris subdichotomis, calycibus villoso-pubescentibus. Gaud, in Freyc. Voy. 

 p. 447. t. 53. 



5. Cyrtandra paludosa ; foliis oblongis acuminatis basi angustatis grosse serratis glabris 

 subtus pallidioribus, pedunculis brevissimis flores paucos pedicellatos umbellatim dispositos 

 gerentibus, calycibus glabriusculis. Gaud, in Freyc. Voy. p. 447. 



Although Gaudichaud describes his plant as having single-flowered peduncles, still we think it the same 

 as ours; indeed, on some of the specimens before us there is only one flower, or rather fruit, to each 

 peduncle; t>ut a slight inspection shows that this is caused by all the pedicels but one having fallen off. 

 In the Collection there are two states or varieties; one with much smaller and more rigid leaves than 

 the other. Gaudichaud enumerates and figures yet another species, C. trijiora ; foliis oblongis subacuminatis 

 basi cuneatis subduplicato-serratis glabris, nervo venisque subtus adpresso-pubescentibus, pedunculis trifloris, 

 calycibus glabriusculis. Gaud. 1. c. t. 52. — We have also another in our herbarium, from the same islands, 

 discovered by Mr. Menzies, which we propose to call C. Menziesii; foliis quaternis oblongis brevissime 

 acuminatis basi cuneatis versus apicem subdenticulato-serratis supra scabriusculis subtus glabris, nervo
