It is a small and handsome tree, reaching a height of about 15 to 25 feet, but 
is often found as a shrub in the more open country or swampy flat lands, as at 
the head of Pauoa valley on Oahu, to which island it was thought to be peculiar. 
It has since been found by the writer on Maui in Honomanu gulch, and on Mo- 
lokai at Maunahui, as on the ridges of Manoa, Palolo, Niu and Waipio valleys, 
Oahu. Its large, very arched, green flowers are not particularly handsome. 
All Clermontiae are known to the natives as Ohawai or Haha. The milky, 
viscous sap was employed as bird lime in the olden days by the native bird- 
hunter.

A small tree 15 to 18 feet high, resembling very much the species on Oahu. 
This tree is not at all common, but can be found on the Island of Maui on the 
windward slopes of Mt. Haleakala along the Kailua ditch trail in the valley of 
Honomanu at an elevation of 2800 to 3000 feet in the rain forest. The type 
specimen is No. 8804 in the College of Hawaii Herbarium. Collected flowering 
April, 1911. The tree grows in company with Cl. macrocarpa, which is the most 
common species in that locality, and Cl. arborescens.
