I^agenophora maviensis forma emarginata f. nov. 



This form is generall>- a smaller plant with shorter scapes of 

 3-8 cm. in length. The flowers are often darker colored, and the 

 rays are emarginate, usually- conspicuously .so. The common oc- 

 currence of small plants with entire rays, and the rare occurrence 

 of large plants with emarginate rays prevent the separation of va- 

 rieties. Forma emaroinata looks veiy distinct when growing.

 No. 379, M. FIke, W. Maui (one specimen on this sheet is the 

 small form with entire rays); Forbes, No. 378, M. Eke, W. Maui.
