A medium sized tree, leaves as in Santalum ore um of Oahu, but ici sein 
neath; panicles axillary, loose, few flowered; eae on pedicels of 3 mm, perigone dull 
red, ey pas ical Se rs) 14 mm, the lobes as long s the tube or shorter; 4 as long as 
the filaments; style nearly as long as the alpank. 3-cleft; drupe large 14 to 24 mm long, 
the corsa Baits runcinate, crowned with membraneous annulus ie the apex. 
This species is peculiar to the Island of Kauai and occurs in the forests of Hale- 
manu at an elevation of 3000 to 4000 feet, where it is a tree 35 to 40 feet high, 
occasionally. It can also be found in the woods of Kaholuamano, on the same 
leeward side, above Waimea in the more dry regions in company with Elaeocarpus 
bifidus (Kalia), Tetraplasandra Waimeae (Ohe kikoola), Pterotropia Kauaiensis 
(Ohe ohe), Straussia (Kopiko), Bobea Mannii (Ahakea) and others. It also en- 
croaches on the border of the rain forest where it is a straighter and taller tree 
than when growing on the drier forehills. 
On the road to Halemanu, near Puu ka pele of the Waimea canyon, the writer 
saw a fine specimen which was loaded with fruit, and the ground beneath was 
covered with thousands of seeds, but none had sprouted. 
It may be remarked, that any attempt to germinate seeds of the Hawaiian 
Sandalwoods resulted in failure. Hillebrand records a similar fate in his Flora 
of the Hawaiian Islands.

short ida below the same, putamen minutely runcinate. 
This species, which is easily distinguished from the other Hawaiian Sandal- 
woods by its dense corymbose inflorescence, which is bright scarlet, is peculiar to 
the Island of Maui, and at that confined to the eastern part Mt. Haleakala, after 
which mountain it was named by Hillebrand, who records it as a shrub. 
It is, however, also a tree, though not of any size; the highest trees observed by 
the writer were about 25 feet. It grows around the crater of Puunianiau, on the 
northeastern slope of Mt. Haleakala, at an elevation of 7000 to 9000 feet. It was
