352 PROCEEDINGS OP THE AMERICAN ACADEMY 



latis corolla extus sericeo-villosa brevioribus vel demum jequalibus 

 laxis ; fructu ovato. — Oahu. 



Var. /3. calycis lobis elongato-lanceolatis ; corolla subglabrata. — 

 "West Maui. 



The deeply-parted divisions of the calyx are at first considerably 

 shorter than the corolla, but they enlarge with age : at first silky- 

 villous and ferrugineous, when old they are glabrate ; they are not 

 always so broad as Gaudichaud represents them, nor with such undu- 

 late reflexed margins ; sometimes they become merely broad-lanceo- 

 late ; in the variety from Maui they are still narrower, and then 

 occasionally six. Corolla white or greenish, as in all these species. 



Cyrtandra Garnotiana (Gaud.) : foliis ellipticis vel obovatis 

 utrinque saepius anguste acuminatis denticulatis supra hirsutulis sub- 

 tus cum inflorescentia ramisque canescenti-velutinis ; pedunculis gra- 

 cilibus 3-5-floris ; bracteis parvis ; calyce carapanulato subaequaliter 

 5-fido, lobis triangularibus tubo subtcquilongis corolla extus hirsuta 

 (4—5 lin. longa) subdimidio brevioribus. — Oahu. One of the small- 

 flowered species. The fruit is figured by Gaudichaud as ovate. 



Cyrtandra Macrjei (sp. nov.) : foliis lato-ovatis acuminatis den- 

 ticulatis supra glabris subtus ramulisque novellis pruinoso-incanis, 

 venis pubescentibus ; pedunculis brevissirais cymoso-multifloris ; calyce 

 ajqualiter 5-partito corolla pruinosa fructuque ovoideo multo breviore, 

 lobis e basi lata lanceolatis. — Oahu, gathered by Macrae (1825), 

 Gaudichaud (in voyage of the Bonite), and by Brackenridge. " Shrub 

 10 feet high," but the branches collected are herbaceous. Leaves 4 to 

 8 inches long by 3 to G wide. Bracts minute. Flowers very small 

 for the genus ; corolla 4^ lines long. Stamens not examined, only a 

 single flower having been seen. Pistil of the genus. Immature fruit 

 4 lines long, conical-ovoid or ellipsoidal, probably more or less fleshy. 



Cyrtandra Menziesii (Hook. & Am. Bot. Beech., p. 91, adn.) : 

 subglabra ; foliis quaternis (an semper ?) oblongis seu lanceolatis utrin- 

 que acuminatis serrulatis ; pedunculis petiolo brevioribus urabellato- 

 plurifloris ; calyce 5-partito, lobis elongatis subulato-setaceis corolla 

 vix semipollicari pauUo brevioribus ; fruct. fere C. Macrcei, — Not 

 in our collection, but found by Gaudichaud in the voyage of the 

 Bonite. 



As to the species of the Feejee Islands, the collection of the Ameri- 

 can Expedition contains only three or four of the eight enumerated by 

 Dr. Seemann, the characters of which he is about to publish.
