HAWAII : Mountains of Kaiholena in rainforest, southern slopes of Mauna 

 Loa, Kau, elevation 6000 feet, January 1912, Rock type no. 10055 in the her- 

 barium of the College of Hawaii ; — dense forest east of Palakea, about 10 miles 

 north of Kilauea, Hawaii, June 29, 1915, C. N. Forbes no. 1003-H in the her- 

 barium Bishop jMuseum 



Tlie native who was with the writer when he collected this species assured 

 him that he had seen it before in that same locality, and stated that the Howers 

 are yellowish. This species is related to C. Copelandii Rock, and probably also 

 to C. pilosa Gray. 



Forbes gives the stem as spiny. The stem iu the writer's was not spiny with 

 the exception of some murication at the base. Spinyness is a variable character 

 and cannot very well !)e depended upon; for example, Cyanea platyphylla is 

 sometimes very spiny, and then again we meet with perfectly glabrous specimens. 



The single corolla which adhered to the specimen was lost, but the writer 

 remembers it to have been yellowisli-white. Furlies describes the flowers and 

 fruits as follows: 



"Calyx obconical. glabrous, the tuV)e 5-6 mm long, the teeth narrow acute, 

 3-3.5 mm long; corolla white nearly glabrous, siiarsely puberulent under a lens, 

 falciform 3.6 cm long; staminal column and anthers glabrous; berry globose, 

 orange-colored, rather flat-topped, seeds crustaceous, smooth reddish." 



Tlie writer examined Forlies' tyjie of Cyaiica pdlalxca and found it identical 

 witli tlie writer's C. stictapJiyUd.
