 flaccida pc41nc'ida ; pedimfiilo Vi; pt'lliee; corolla 2', 2 poll, lonsa; eapsula fyjin- 

 drico-oblonj.;;!. "' 



SANDMaCII: Molokai. I'aviiic a I'ukoo. ran-, luai 191(1 ( Frb. Faurie. 572). 



The description of this species is wortidcss; besides, none of the Hawaiian 

 Lobelioideons genera save Lobelia and Tr< iiiatolobelia have capsules. His 

 Dclissra Fauriei may be anythint;', as. for example. Lobelia In/poh iira. which has 

 an oblong cylindrical capsule, or it may be Cl< rnumtia arborcsccns, which has no 

 capsules. 



The writer has not seen a specimen ; among the plants sent him by Leveille, 

 neither this species nor the other two, Cyanea salicina and Clerniontia earinifera, 

 were represented. Clermontia earinifera is perhaps Clermoiitia Gaiielieliaitdii or 

 ('naiua fissa. His Cijanea salieiiia is in all probability ('!ja)ua sjiallnilahi. as he 

 described specimens of that latter species as Iiollaiidia Fauvi(i. 



Ciianea spathulata varies considerably in the length of the h'af, an<l this 

 might have induced him to describe it again in amither genus. 



Following are the descriiitions of the other two species: 



Cyanea salicina I.evl. Fedde Repert. Spec. nov. X1I:.^03. 1")13. 



"Folia tiaccidissima elongata anguste lanceolata, nervis areuatis, margine 

 eonfluentibus, vix vel non snbdenticulata, subtus secus nervos expassim sparse 

 pilosa, breviter petiolata acuminata." 



"A. C. apathulaia foliis Haccidissimis valde acnfis ditt'<'rt." 



In the descri|)tion of Ci/ciiki siiIiciiKi unly the leaves are described; hnw he 

 came to tlie eoni'lnsion that Fani'ie's plant nn. 10 is a Cj/diKd is nmrc tliaii a 

 puzzle.
