This species is related to Cyanea acuminata, Cyanea stivtoijliylla, to Cyanea 

 multispicata and Cyanea hirtella. 



It is usually an epiphyte, but occasionally it roots in the ground at the base 

 of a ti'ee, against which it reclines and ascends, the stem rooting practically all 

 along its whole lengtli on the moss-covered trunk. 



It was named for the writer's friend, M. L. Copeland, who accompanied him 

 on botanical excursions on Hawaii.
