Araliaceae. 
This species, which like the two following has no native name, is a small tree 
originally found by John Lydgate in the valley of Wailupe on Oahu, and re- 
sembles somewhat Pterotropia gymnocarpa from the same mountain range. 
It has not been collected by the writer, and as there are no specimens of this 
plant in herbaria in the Territory of Hawaii, the above short description will 
have to suffice.

This species and a variety z. occur on the Island of Oahu on the a of 
Waiolani and Konahuanui back of Honolulu. It differs from the foregoing 
Species mainly in the drupe, which is cylindrical and truneate, while the former 
has ovoid drupes with conical vertices. 
It is a small tree about 20 feet in height and is peculiar to Oahu. The writer 
observed several trees at the head of Pauoa Valley and on the slopes of Kona- 
huanui. It is sparingly branching about 6 feet above the ground; the trunk is 
vested in a gray, smooth bark, and is about 6 to 8 inches in diameter. Accord- 
ing to Horace Mann, its native name is Ohe mauka or the mountain Ohe, while 
Reynoldsia sandwicensis is Ohe makai; the latter, however, is also known as Oke 
kukuluaeo.

This tree was first collected by Hillebrand on the summit of Mt. Kaala of the 
Waianae range on Oahu at an elevation of 4000 feet. It is, like the two fore- 
going species, a small tree 12 to 16 feet in height and of no economic value.
