Type in tlie B. P. B. AI. Herliarium, collected at the Hii mt)untains, 

 Kauai, T. H., October 22, 1916, by C. N. Forlies, No. 166, K. (fruit lacking). 

 In the B. P. B. M. HerlKirium from the same locality are No. 654, K, 

 collected by C. N. Forbes and an unnumbered, undated sheet of specimens 

 collected by Rev. J. M. Lydgate ; collected at the WaioH \"alley, Kauai, T. H., 

 August 5, 1909, by C. N. Forbes, No. 132, K. 



' This species has the calyx of the Crotonocalyx ofotip, btit the 

 leaves of the Schizocalyx group. The calyx shows no tendency to 

 split. The leaves of No. 132, K, 21.3 cm. long-, y.^ cm. wide and the 

 petiole. 5.9 cm. in length, are larger than the type; other features 

 the same. This species differs from C. Knudsciiii Rock in the calyx, 

 which is broadly lobed instead of narrow-lanceolate, and in the 

 pubescence of the corolla which is villous, not hirsute. The calyx 

 lobes are not parted below the middle. It shows relationship to C. 

 kai(aiensis Wawra in the thinner calyx, and pubescent ovary.
