This variety, which seems to be a typical liane, forming dense tangles, was 
collected flowering and fruiting by the writer in the valley of Mahana, Island of 
Lanai, on the dry open wooded forehills, on July 24, 1910. The type is no. 8057 
in the College of Hawaii Herbarium.

The Alani occurs in the wet forests of Oahu, especially of the main western 
range, where it is a common tree at an elevation of 2000 to 2500 feet. The writer 
met with it most plentifuly in the mountains of Punaluu, on the windward side 
of Oahu, as well as on Konahuanui, back of Honolulu. Several varieties of tis 
species are known, perhaps doubtful. According to Dr. Wm. T. Brigham, the 
tough wood of this species was used for tapa beaters. (Flowering and fruiting 
November 14, 1908; no. 912, Mts. of Punaluu; fruiting Konahuanui, November, 
1912, no. 10215 College of Hawaii Herbarium.)

fectly glabrous, and chartaceous, the capsules are larger and also glabrous, even 
when very young.
