HAWAII : In the dense swampy forest near Kilauea, elevation 3700 feet, 

 ilowering and fruiting July 1911, Rock type no. 8805 in the herbarium of the 

 College of Hawaii; — Kalanilehua, January 1918, W. ISl. Giffard in herbarium of 

 the College of Hawaii ; — lies Sandwieli, 1851-1855. J. Remy no. 303 in herbarium 

 Mu.seum Paris. 



The variety (jlnbrifoJia is especiall\- numerous in ilr. W. ^I. Gift'ard's moun- 

 tain home, Kalanilehua; outside tlie fenced jiortion in the forest it is scarce, 

 owing to cattle which are allowed to graze in portions of the forest. The plant 

 is usually small and can easily be overlooked, as it grows in dense shaded places, 

 hidden under the numerous ferns and other foliage.

 the herbarium of the College of Hawaii. 



Only a .single plant was observed; it is doubtfully referred to Cuayiea pilosa.

 but the habit of the plant is the same. The fruits are very large and globose.
