The species occurs as a tree of 15 to 20 feet or so in height with a trunk of a 
foot in diameter on the upper slopes of Mt. Hualalai, at Hinakapauula, eleva- 
tion 6000 feet. It however descends as low as 4000 feet. Nearly every trunk 
of these trees, which are very numerous at the above locality, is rotten, though the 
outward appearance of the tree is healthy; the trunks are without bark and full 
of holes, and are entirely hollow being inhabited by thousands of sow-bugs, 
(Philoscia angusticauda). It is also common at Paauhau, 3000 feet elevation on 
Parker ranch, Hawaii, and was also collected by the writer on the slopes of 
Mauna Loa in the upper part of the rain forest of Kau above Naalehu and 
Waiohinu, 5000 feet elevation. Specimens from this latter locality differ some- 
what from those of Hualalai in that the calycine limb is only half the length 
of that occurring on Hualalai and Paauhau.

This interesting species seems to be an intermediate between C. cymosa and 
C. rhynchocarpa. It has the typical, though somewhat shorter, calycine limb 
of the latter species, and the inflorescence of the former. In general habit it is 
however quite different, as well as in many other respects. It occurs in the rain 
forest above and below Olinda on Maui, on the slopes of Mt. Haleakala, where it 
was collected by the writer in September, 1910. It is named after the writer’s 
friend, Mr. L. v. Tempsky, the manager of Haleakala ranch, to whom he is 
greatly indebted for often extended hospitality and without whose aid the ex- 
ploration of Mt. Haleakala could not have been accomplished in such a satis- 
factory way. 
The type is 8529 in the College of Hawaii Herbarium.
