15 to 20 feet in height. Hillebrand’s description, which is cited above, answers 
very well to the writer’s specimens. It may be remarked that St. leptocarpa 
and St. oncocarpa come very close to each other, as the number of whorls in the 
panicle and dentate calyx limb cannot always be relied upon as constant char- 
acters. The writer has observed subtrunecate and decidedly dentate calyx limbs 
on a single panicle. In the writer’s specimens (no. 8541) from Makawao, 
Maui, the peduncles are from 4.5 to 5 em long, and glabrate, while the leaves 
are on petioles of 12 to 20 mm. Specimens from West Maui, above Kaana- 
pali, (no. 8167) come much closer to St. leptocarpa than no. 8541, though the 
leaves are much smaller (4 to 5 em) than the description calls for; the panicles 
are smaller, and pubescent, the peduncle is exactly 2.5 em or linch. The species 
is peculiar to the open dry forehills of West and East Maui.

Leaves obovate-oblong, or ster ee ices acute at both ends or the apex bluntly 
acuminate, 10 to 15 em long, 5 wide, on petioles of 12 to 15 mm, chartaceous to 
nerves; stipules obov mae bee om a broad base, somewhat obtuse, 6 to mm long; aisles 
glabrous, erect, 5 to m (impossible to be 4 lines=8 mm, according to Fearn in 
the writer’s specimens, including a peduncle of about 3 to 3.5 em; calyx truncate; 
corolla with a pilose patch at the prac of each lobe; the lobes scarcely longer than 
tube; drupe as in Birdies pane 
This species, which is iene from Straussia kaduana mainly in the 
bearded corolla, and the more or less elliptical-lanceolate leaves, which are acute 
at both ends and twice as long petioled as in the latter species, occurs on Oahu, 
Maui, and Kauai. On the latter island the writer collected it in the forests 
above Makaweli at an elevation of 3000 feet (no. 5833) and also in the woods 
of Kaholuamano, though from this locality the leaves have pubescent glands in 
the axils of the nerves, (no. 5352). An apparent variety with oblong leaves was 
collected at Kaholuamano, Kauai, in Sept., 1909, (no. 5346) ; the panicles in this 
variety are slightly pubescent, but the throat of the corolla appears to be naked. 
As it is a very variable species no exact limits of either Straussia kaduana or 
St. Mariniana ean be set. It would perhaps be best to unite both into one 
species.
