179. Gardenia Brighamii (sp. nov.): arborescens, inermis ; foliis 

 ovatis basi rotundatis breviter petiolatis, costa subtus hispidula; stipulis 

 ovatis acutis deciduis, basi persistente hispida cupuliforrai ; flore termi- 

 nal! sessili ; calycis tubo angulato, limbo 4-partito, lobis verticalibus 

 lineari-lanceolatis foliaceis corolla} hypocraterimorphae tubum adjequan- 

 tibus ; stigmate clavato ; bacca papillosa imperfecte 3 - 6-loculari. — 

 West end of Lanai ; also Kaala Mountains, and Nunanu Valley, Oahu. 

 — Leaves 1 to 4 inches long, 8 to 25 lines wide, obtuse, quite veiny. 

 Sepals at first linear-lanceolate, somewhat wider in fruit, an inch long. 

 Berry slightly ribbed by the decurrent costa of the sepals, rather more 

 than an inch long. Closely allied to G. Taitensis, from which it differs 

 in the rounder leaves and longer lobes of the calyx. I take pleasure 

 in dedicating this species to my friend and companion Mr. W. T. 

 Brigham. (M. & B. 348.) 



180. Gardenia Remyi (sp. nov.) : arborea, inermis ; foliis araplis 

 oblongo-ovatis breviter petiolatis coriaceis ; stipulis cupuliformibus 

 truncatis vel breviter utrinque acuminatis tarde deciduis ; flore termi- 

 nali ; calycis limbo 4-partito, lobis verticalibus ovatis coriaceis reticu- 

 lato-venosis tubum corollse superantibus ; coroll?e lobis ovatis basi an- 

 gustatis ; bacca papillosa. — Woods on the windward side of Kauai, 

 and on the mountains above Honolulu, Oahu. — A tree, often 40 feet 

 high. Leaves 3 to 8 inches long, 1| to 3 or 4 inches wide, obtuse at 

 both ends, or shortly acuminate, strongly veined. Lobes of the calyx 

 an inch or more long, nearly twice the length of the corolla-tube. 

 Corolla, as in the preceding species, white and very fragrant, an inch 

 or more in diameter. (M. & B. 565 ; Remy, 344.)

 Petesia ? coriacea, Hook. & Arn. 1. c. Var. hirtella. (M. & B. 

 131, 382, 416, 418, 526; Remy, 331.) 



182. Kadua laxiflora (sp. nov.) : fruticosa; ramis pedunculis 

 pedicellisque glaberrimis ; foliis chartaceis minute strigosis sessilibus, 

 inferioribus oblongis utrinque acuminatis, superioribus floralibusque 

 cordatis acuminatis ; cyma laxe pluriflora ; lobis calycis lanceolatis 

 ovario bis longioribus ; capsula apice convexiuscula ; seminibus im- 

 marginatis. — Wailuku Valley, West Maui. — A sarmentose shrubby 

 species. Stem somewhat four-angled. Leaves 4 to 6 inches long, 

 1^ to 2 inches wide; the floral leaves an inch or more long. Calyx- 

 lobes 2 to 3 lines long, half the length of the corolla. (M. & B. 422.)
