in the larger dimension of all parts, in the calyx which is more distinctly cam-

flowers are a little larger, very attenuate at the base and broader at the mouth,

The writer has never collected the typical Pr. Martii, which undoubtedly occurs 
on Oahu. In the Punaluu Mts., Oahu, quite a number of native palms occur, 
some of which may have to be referred to this species.

This species occurs on the Island of Haw aii and was collected first by Mr. J. 
Lydgate. It was again collected in the type locality by the writer in the Kohala 
Mountains above Awini at an elevation of 3000 feet in the dense tropical rain 
forest. It was in flower only, so that the mature fruits remain still undescribed. 
Beceari says: ‘‘A very distinct species, and uncomprehensible how Hille- 
brand could confuse it with Pr. Gaudichaudii.’’ He states that fruits (as de- 
seribed above) were attached to the sheet in a separate envelope; he, however, 
believes for some reason that they do not belong to Pr. lanigera, and it is therefore 
wise to restrict the specific distinction to the floriferous spadix. Specimens of 
this species, together with other palm material, were forward to O. Beccari, who 
pronounced No. 8820 in the College of Hawaii Herbarium the typical Pritchardia 
lanigera.
