SOME COMMON WOODY PLANTS OF THE OAHU 

 LOWLANDS. 



Editor Hawaiian Forester and Agriculturist. 



Sir: — In connection with the College of Hawaii course in den- 

 drology, which I give, I have found the accompanying reference 

 list of much service. This is an alphahetical list, cross-refer- 

 enced, of the commoner indigenous and cultivated trees, shrubs 

 and woody plants that are to be found on the Oahu lowlands. 

 It does not include species that are found only along the beaches, 

 nor does it include many of the rarer horticultural trees. The list 

 aims to cover only such trees and shrubs as one would be likely 

 to find, for example, along a country roadway, outside of the 

 city. The botanical names are those that have found general 

 usage in the technical literature. 



Very truly yours, 



Vaughan MacCaughey.
