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

 ovatis basi rotundatis breviter petiolatis, costa subtus hispidula; stipulis 

 ovatis acutis deciduis, basi persistente bispida cupuliformi ; flore termi- 

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

 lineari-lanceolatis foliaceis corolla? hypocraterimorpha? tubum ada^quan- 

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

 West end of Lanai ; also Kaala Mountains, and Nuuanu Valley, Oabu. 

 — 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 decun*ent 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 amplis 

 oblongo-ovatis breviter petiolatis coriaceis ; stipulis cupuliformibus 

 truncatis vel breviter utrinque acuminatis tarde deciduis ; flore termi- 

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

 lato-venosis tubum corolloe superantibus ; corollae 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 J 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.)

 Cham. & Schlecht. in Linnaea, 4, p. 164. Var. terminalis. Petesia ? 

 terminalis, Hook. & Arn. Bot. Beech. Voy. p. 85. Var. coriacea. 

 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.)
