The only ('i/diiia with bright l»lue (lowers; a very handsome species, distantly 

 related to Cijanea hirtdla, but of quite different aspect. 



The steep walls at the head of Waialae Valley, in the heart of the island of 

 Kauai, are covered witli the tall graceful plants of this beautiful species. At 

 Waiakealoha it is a much smaller plant; the leaves are rather variable, linear- 

 lanceolate and broadly oblong acute forms can be found.

 1908, J. :\I. Lydgate;— fruiting August 1909, C. N. Forbes no. 292-k in her- 

 barium Bishop JIuseum. 



The wi'iter examined the type no. 292-k in the Bishop iluscum, liut the 

 specimen is so badly eaten and in other v.ays so fragmentary that nothing can 

 be done but to quote C N. Forties' description. J. "M. Lydgate's specimen with 

 flowerbuds is not in the Bishop lluseum h.erliariimi. 



It probably belongs to this section with Ci/diiiii ndc and ('. fssn from the 

 same island.
