belongs to tbe section of the genus which has the lip fimbriate or den- 

 tate on the margin, and can thus be easily distinguished from A. Sand- 

 wicensis, the lip of which is entire on the margin. (M. & B. 469, 470.) 



488. LiPARis Hawaiensis (sp. nov.) : foliis binis ovalibus oblon- 

 gisve obtusis membranaceis plicatis petiolatis scapo angulato dimidio 

 brevioribus ; racemo plurifloro ; labello obovato integerrimo vel cre- 

 nato concolore (flavido) ; sepalis lanceolatis ; petalis filiformibus ; cap- 

 sula obovato-clavato costata. — In mountain woods, on trees. — Inter- 

 mediate between L. Lceselii and L. Uliifolia in general aspect. Leaves 

 2|- to 4 inches long, by 1 to 2^ inches wide, abruptly contracted into a 

 conspicuous vaginate petiole of an inch or two in length. The labellum 

 is about 3 lines long, and a little shorter than the sepals. The bulb is 

 small (M. & B. 471.)

489. Drac^na aurea (sp. nov.) : arborea, ramosa ; foliis coria- 

 ceis planis linearibus attenuato-acuminatis ; paniculis recurvo-pendulis 

 folioso-bracteatis ; pedicellis laxe racemosis solitariis raro geminis ; peri- 

 gonio (sesqui - bipollicari) tubuloso subinfundibuliformi leviter curvato 

 flavo, tubo lobis erectis lineari-oblongis triple longiore. — Not uncom- 

 mon throughout the islands. — A tree 20 to 25 feet high. The linear 

 and recurved-spreading leaves 1 J to 2 feet long, an inch or less wide. 

 Panicle a foot long, more or less, the bright lemon-yellow flowers very 

 showy. This differs from the typical species of the genus in the erect 

 lobes as well as the long tube of the perigonium. , The bei'ry is red, 

 4 to 8 lines in diameter, and is much sought after by birds.
