This sietioty handsome species is peculiar to the Island of Kauai and is 
only found in the forests of Halemanu, in the interior swampy woods; it is dis- 
tinguished from the other Suttonias by its thin leaves which are ovate to suborbi- 
ewlar and are of a glaucous color, and in the very shortly pedicellate red flowers. 
It is a striking species and is here named for Mr. Augustus Knudsen, of Waiawa, 
Kauai, to whom the writer is greatly indebted for extended hospitality and 
facilities for collecting in the mountains of Kauai. The type is number 2337 
in the College of Hawaii Herbarium. Collected February 14-26, 1909, Hale- 
manu, Kauai, flowering. 
A form with somewhat smaller leaves, which are acute at the apex instead 
of rounded, and more elliptical in outline, must be referred here as forma 
elliptica fm. noy. (no. 1661), flowering, February, 1909, Halemanu, Kauai.

This species, which is not known to the writer, was collected by Wawra on 
the Island of Kauai, evidently at Halemanu. There are several forms found 
on the Island of Oahu which are certainly referable to this species; some 0 
them are varieties. 
On the Island of Oahu in the Koolau range, Mountains of Waikane, the 
writer collected specimens of a tree which is a good variety and may be de- 
scribed as follows:
