(Plate 136.) 

 "A branching shrub 1.3-2.3 m high, sparsely muricate or aculeate, or un- 

 armed ; leaves obovate or elliptical oblong, 45-50 cm long, 15-17.5 em wide, irreg- 

 ularly cut into broad triangular lobes, acuminate, narrowing at the base, glab- 

 rous, membranous, on ]>etioles of 10-17.5 cm long, these and the midrili gen- 

 erall.y with some scattering conical spines, pedimcle 6.25-7.5 cm long, bracteate 

 from the base, many flowered, the pedicels 2.5-3.75 cm long, the bracts linear, 

 S-12 mm, often foliaceous; cah'x tube obconical 12 nun, its lobes 18-24 mm 

 foliaceous, 5-9-nerved, net-veined and denticulate, oblong obtuse, mucronate; 

 corolla 5-6.25 cm long, 3.5 lin. (7 mm) wide, glabrous and smooth, white below, 

 purplish above ; stamens glabrous ; anthers purplish, the upper o'les eiliate at

MAUI : "West Maui, valley of Waihee, Maun and Brigham no. 467 in the 

 herbarium of Cornell University, and Gray Herbarium; — Kaanapali, Honokahau, 

 Wailuku and elsewhere. (Kaanapali) August 1870, Hillebrand in Ilerliarium 

 Berlin and part in the herbarium of the College of Hawaii. 



Hillebrand's specimen bears in his handwriting the name Cyanea {aniicifa) 

 and in fresher ink, lobata Mann. It agrees exactly with Mann's plant in the 

 Cornell Herbarium, only the leaves seem to be narrower and on longer petioles. 

 It is undoubtedly very close to Cyanea Grimcsiana, as it has also the upper 

 anthers eiliate, as is the ease in C. Grimesiana.

Cyanea lobata ji var. Hillebr. Flora Hawaii. Isl. 237. 1888. 



"Stem quite prickly, leaves 30 cm long, 15 cm wide, more deeply lobed ; tubes 

 of calyx 6 mm, its lobes 10-12 mm; lobes of corolla muricate." 



MAUI: East Maui. Ilamakua, Lydgate. no specimen is extant; — X;ihiku, 

 September 1909, U. Faurie no. 670 in Herbarium Leveille and the herbarium of 

 the College of Hawaii. 



No specimen of this variety is to be found in any of the herbaria. Abbe 

 Faurie 's specimen is very fragmentary, but seems to Itelong here; the calvcine 

 lobes are shorter than in the species, and the leaves are deepe;- lobed, but tlie 

 corolla lobes are smooth. The writer's no. 10350 may belong here; it was col- 

 lected near Keanae, East ]\Iaui, in May, 1911 ; it was without flower or fruit.
