A tree 10 m.—20m. high, dividing freely into ascending branches;

the ground; leaves coriaceous, obovate-oblong, 14-18 cm. X 4.5- 
8 cm., on petioles of 2.5—3 cm., alternate, estipulate, quite glabrous 
with age, some pubescence remaining on the sides and angles of 
the midrib and veins, especially on the lower surface, shining 
above, dull beneath, midrib prominent, with lateral veins leaving 
midrib at wide angles (about 80° in center of leaf) parallel to mar- 
gin and connected by a continuous intra-marginal nerve, young 
leaves densely covered with appressed brown hair on both surfaces; 
flowers in clusters 2 or 3 (?) on tomentose pedicels, 12-20 mm. long; 
calyx 5-parted to near the base, lobes imbricate, acuminate, 3-5 
mm.; corolla light yellow, longer than the calyx, 4-5-parted to the 
base, the lobes acute; staminodia half as long as the lobes, linear,

This tree was discovered by Dr. H. L. Lyon, pathologist of the 
Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ Experiment Station, in the woods of 
Nahiku, Maui, at an elevation of 1,300 feet, where he collected the 
type material. Dr. Lyon observed one large tree at Kailua, Maui, 
which had a straight trunk fully 30 feet to the first branch. 
The type is number 6061, given by Dr. Lyon for the herbarium 
of the Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry, col- 
lected January 15, 1909, at Nahiku, Island of Maui.
