aequali ; cymis axillaribus 1 - 5-cephalis subsessilibus ; pedicellis folio 

 multo brevioribus ; involucri campanulati lobis minimis, glaudulis 

 transverse ovalibus ; capsular (aut glabrae aut tomentulosse) coccis 

 vix carinatis ; semine tetragono-obovato scrobiculato-rugoso. — Kauai. 

 Oabu. — Allied to E. clusicefolia, but much taller, inclining to be sim- 

 ple stemmed and arborescent, glabrous, except the slight pubescence 

 on the involucre, and a deciduous tomentum on the capsule. Leaves 

 from 1 h to 5 inches long, and from 10 to 20 lines wide, much thinner 

 than in E. clusicefolia, and the primary veins (from 20 to 30 pairs) 

 more evident, but the ultimate reticulation of veinlets less distinct ; the 

 apex never retuse, usually pointed. Petioles 3 to 6 lines long. Pedi- 

 cels 2 to 3 lines long, sometimes solitary. Lobes of the involucre 

 almost obsolete, emarginate. Styles short ; their lobes short and 

 thickish. Capsules small, acutely triangular-3-lobed, and glabrous 

 (immature?), or much larger, 2 lines long, the cocci obtuse on 

 the back. Seed coarsely scrobiculate-rugose." Gray, mss. (H. 

 Mann ; Remy, 598.)
