Rutaceae. 
the Kohala mountains grows a species with exceedingly strong anise odor, even 
more so than in the Kauai plant, but it does not retain its odor. The capsules are 
three times as large as those of the Mokihana and resemble very much the cap- 
sules of P. volcanica. 
The Mokihana fruits abundantly during the early fall, especially during the 
month of September, when the trees are loaded with the mature capsules.

This species, named in memory of the author’s compatriot, Dr. H. Wawra of 
the Austrian exploring expedition, is a small tree 10 to 15 feet high with a short 
trunk which is vested in a smooth brown bark; the branches are ascending, 
robust and very tough. It is probably related to P. sapotaefolia, from which it 
differs in the opposite glabrous leaves and much smaller cuboid capsules. 
It is not uncommon on the slopes of Konahuanui, but especially along the 
Manoa cliff trail at an elevation of about 2000 feet, together with Perrottetia 
sandwicensis, Hibiscus, Maba sandwicensis, Straussia Kaduana, and others. 
Collected November 30, 1912, and fruiting February 2, 1913, in company with 
Dr. E. A. Back. The type is no. 10220 in the Herbarium of the College of 
Hawaii. 
A pubescent form of this species was collected at Wahiawa in the north fork 
of Kaukonahua Gulch of the Koolau range on May 15, 1909, flowering and 
fruiting (no. 3020). 
he leaves are pubescent along the midrib; the inflorescence, which is 5 to 7 
flowered, is covered with a yellowish tomentum, as are the sepals. The petals 
are glabrous; the female flowers are rather small, only 3 mm in length; stamens 
about 0.5 mm, ovary hirsute, style thick with a bluntly four-lobed stigma.
