This species occurs on the island of Hawaii in the serub forest at an elevation 
of 2000 feet and again in the serub forests or open country at 7000 feet eleva- 
tion. On Maui the writer collected specimens on the lava fields of Auahi, dis- 
trict of Kahikinui, southern slopes of Haleakala at an elevation of 1500 feet, 
Which belong to this species. It differs from the Hawaii plants in the leaves 
only, which are of much thinner texture, being chartaceous and having rather 
indistinet veins, while in the plants from Kona and Kau, Hawaii, the veins are 
very strong and prominent. The specimen figured came from East Maui, 
southern slopes of Haleakala, where it grew on the rough aa flows along the gov- 
ernment road. It is a small tree, 15 to 18 feet in height, with a small trunk 
about 5 inches in diameter.
