oribus minimis, mediis triplo majoribus 9-nerviis laevibus, interioribus 

 brevioribus uninerviis. — On the mountains of Hawaii, Maui, and 

 Kauai. — Somewhat resembling M. phleoides, but smaller, and the 

 spikes shorter. (M. & B. 246.)

518. Fimbristtlis umbellato-capitata, Steud. ? A very varia- 

 ble plant, from "Waterlandt Island, Tutuilla, etc., as well as the Hawaiian 

 Islands. The spikes are always sessile in a head, but the heads are 

 solitary, or few, or numerous, subtended by 3 - 5 very short (or with 

 one or two longer) awl-shaped bracts. The squamae are ovate, acut- 

 ish, concave, and somewhat keeled ; the styles trifid and the stamens 

 two ; the achenia are less convex on one side than the other, three- 

 angled and very obtuse at the apex. Probably not the species quoted, 

 from which it differs in several particulars, but I am unable to identify 

 it satisfactorily, though it must be well known.
