This variety has not been collected by the writer. It comes very close to 

 Delissea rhytidospcrnia Mann of Kauai, all of which seem to be extreme forms 

 of D. laciniata, found on the various islands of the group. The variety dift'ers 

 from D. rlnjtidospcrnia mainly in the larger flowers and cylindrical berry.
