A small tree 12 m in height; branches slender, glabrous; leaves pilose when young, 
glabrate when old, on petioles of 4-15 mm, oblong or oblong-lanceolate, shortly and obscurely 
acuminate at the apex or somewhat obtuse, reticulate on both sides, the adult leaves densely 
set with blackish minute dots; inflorescence of 1-5-7 flowers, bracts linear, 2-2.5 mm, th 
slender pedicels 5.7 mm, glabrous or pilose; flowers 3 mm long; sepals connate one-th 
their length, often covered with long hair at the dorsal side, ovate; petals elliptical, 
subrotundate at the apex, with elongate, brownish, or shortly linear dots; stamens Wl 
large, ovate-elliptical, somewhat acuminate anthers, slightly papillose; ovary glabrous, ovoid, 
style shert and thick, stigma obtuse, very obscurely 5-angular; drupe globose, 4 mm. 
This species was first collected by V. Knudsen (no. 191) of Kauai. It grows 
in the outskirts of the forests of Halemanu and Kaholuamano on Kauai. Specl- 
mens which evidently belong to this species were collected by the writer 1n the 
type locality (Halemanu) flowering (no. 1567) Febr. 14, 1909; and in Milolii 
gorge (no. 2355) Febr. 26, 1909. In this latter form the young leaves are 
membraneous and puberulous; without flower or fruit. 
The typical Suttonia kauaiensis was collected in the forests of Kaholuamano, 
at an elevation of 3800 feet, flowering March, 1909, (no. 2359). The pedicels 
are glabrous, as well as the flowers, with the exception of the ciliate margin 0 
sepals and petals; the leaves are subemarginate at the base.
