surfaces, 9-21 cm. long, 4-7.5 cm. wide, on spinescent petioles 
1.5-4 cm. in length, glabrous or slightly pubescent; inflorescence

long, of unequal width, broadest portion (7 mm.) beyond the dor- 
sal slit, the latter extending one third the length of the corolla, 
upper corolla lobes 12 mm. long, the three lower 8 mm. long; sta-

Hawalt: terrestrial, in the forests of Glenwood, usually in 
the more or less uniform fern forest at an elevation of 3,500 feet, 
March 20, 1908, H. L. Lyon 8847 (fruiting specimens); December 
23,1914, J. F. Rock & M. L. Copeland 10351 (flowering specimens), 
type. Both specimens are in the herbarium of the College of 
Hawaii. 
Maut!: in the rain forest on the northwestern slopes of Mt. 
Heleakala, along the Honomanu trail, April, 1911, J. F. Rock 8796a 
(leaf specimens only); in the forests back of Nahiku, at an eleva- 
tion of 4,000 feet, April, 1911, J. F. Rock. 
In Hillebrand’s herbarium in the Botanical Museum at Berlin 
there are four specimens of a Cyanea which he labeled with a 
manuscript name. Three of these came from Molokai and one 
from Maui. Two of the specimens, which are undoubtedly related 
to the writer’s C. noli-me-tangere, belong to Cyanea scabra Hillbrd., 
while the others represent two varieties, probably of the latter. 
Cyanea noli-me-tangere differs from Cyanea scabra in the spines- 
cent leaves and in the corolla lobes which are smooth instead 
of scabrous. The corolla lobes of Hillebrand’s plants are also 
scabrous, Cyanea noli-me-tangere is related to Cyanea palakea 
Forbes. It differs from it in the longer-petioled, spinescent 
leaves, which are ovate to obovate-oblong and not sinuate. 
Cyanea palakea Forbes seems to be very close to the writer's 
Cyanea stictophylla from near the locality where Forbes collected 
his specimens.
