Zon Rock: Notes ON HAWAIIAN LOBELIOIDEAE 
puberulous on both sides, the apparently fleshy petiole 12 cm. or 
more in length, near the blade of the leaf showing signs of muri- 
cation; peduncle fleshy (apparently), nearly as long as the petioles, 
8-10 cm. long ora littlemore, naked its entire length, pubescent with 
round scars near the apex; bracts foliaceous, 3.5 cm. long, dentate, 
only present at the apex of peduncle; pedicels short, filiform, 12-15 
mm. long, pubescent; calycine lobes triangular, 2.5 mm. long, the 
ovarian portion of calyx 7 mm. long, oblong, nearly cylindrical, pu- 
bescent; corolla evidently white, pubescent outside, slightly 
cu cm. long, 6 mm. wide, glabrous inside, the lobes not 
ieuedte: staminal column glabrous, as well as anthers, the lower 
only penicillate; fruit unknown. [PLATE 11.] 
HAwaAll: without definite locality, 1851-1855, J. Remy 3o1, 
type. Specimens are preserved in the herbarium of the Natural 
History Museum at Paris and in the Gray Herbarium. 
The specimen in the Paris Museum, a photograph of which is 
here reproduced, is labeled Rollandia and Delissea; the duplicate 
in the Gray Herbarium is marked Rollandia Humboldtiana Gaud. 
That the species is not a Rollandia is evidenced by the free stam- 
inal column, while the absence of dorsal knobs would separate 
it from Delissea. The species belongs, in fact, to the section 
‘Cyaneae genuinae and comes exceedingly close to Cyanea platy- 
-phylla Hillbrd., differing in the long, narrowly oblong leaves and 
tin the exceedingly long peduncles; otherwise the two species cor- 
respond closely. 
The plant is named for Professor Fernald of the Gray Herba- 
rium, to whom the writer is indebted for many favors received and 
especially for the loan of this particular species. The type is in the 
Gray Herbarium, Remy, No. 301. The writer had at first drawn 
up a description from the specimen in the Paris Museum, which is 
much better than the type specimen. Unfortunately the descrip- 
tion was in some way lost after the specimen had been returned to 
Paris. Professor Fernald then sent me again the one in the Gray 
Herbarium, from which the description is drawn. The illustration 
represents the much more complete specimen in the Paris Museum. 
The writer had the Paris and Gray collections of Lobelioideae at 
his disposal for study at the same time, so there is no mistake in 
the identity of both specimens here in question.
