lected specimens with linear oblong leaves 15 em long, and 3 em wide and 
petiolate. 
A distinct variety recorded as 8 by Hillebrand the writer collected in the type 
locality, back of Wahiawa, in the north fork of Kaukonahua gulch; the leaves 
are narrow and on rather long petioles of 3 to 4.5 em, flowering, fruiting May 15, 
1909, no. 3053. 
A more robust variety was collected on Hawaii in the Kohala mountains, with 
stout branches and petioles; flowering and fruiting June, 1910, no. 8366 
Hillebrand’s var. y was collected along the government road above Glenwood 
and near the Voleano of Kilauea on Hawaii, fruiting no. 8775, April, 1911; July, 
1911; December, 1911.

This certainly very variable species, which is here named in honor of Mr. 
George P. Cooke of Molokai, occurs in the dense rain forests above Kamoku, on 
the leeward side of Molokai, at an elevation of 4000 feet. It is a small tree, 
though often inclined to be shrubby with rather stiff and stout branches. It 
occurs all over Molokai in various forms, but alwa ays in the dense rain forest. It 
is closely allied to P. clusiaefolia, and perhaps also to P. awriculaefolia. The 
leaves are, however, much larger, subsessile, of thick texture, the inflorescence 
smaller as well as the capsules; the tree has an entirely different aspect with its 
stout branches, which remind somewhat of P. microcarpa from Kauai. 
The type material was collected on the Island of Molokai in the swampy forest 
above Kamoku camp, at an elevation of 4000 feet; flowering and fruiting no. 
6262, March 23, 1910. Flowering April 10, 1910, no. 7075, from Wailau Pali, 
Molokai, elevation 4000 feet.
