The outward aspect of this species resembles that of a RoUandia, to which 

 genus it comes very elo.se, but is differentiated from it in the free staminal 

 column. It inhabits the windward side of Oahu from Waiahole to Punaluu 

 Valley, at an elevation of about one thousand feet; in Punaluu it grows in com- 

 pany with Cijrtandra, Scacvola Chamissoniana, Acacia Koa, etc. 



It is, as Mr. Forbes points out, related to Cyanea tritomantha A. Gra^- of 

 Hawaii, but differs from it in the much smaller .stature, smaller leaves, and 

 smaller glabrous flowers. The only character it has in common with the Hawaii 

 species is the bracteate peduncle.
