The plant has the general appearance and habit of species belonging 
in the sections Dispares and Polynesiae of Clarke, but it is a genuine 
Aurea. The peduncles are longer than in the majority of the species 
and the Involucre is smaller. The specific name I have selected is not 
especially appropriate, for many species have prominent veins, but in 
this case the veins are rather decidedly thickened; moreover the number 
of species in the genus is now so great that it is getting to be difficult 
to select entirely appropriate names for the new forms.
