6. C. hirtella, Hillebr. — A tall branching shrub, 12—20 ft. high, the 
young shoots hirsute with short rusty hairs. Leaves chartaceous, obovate- 
oblong, 9—11‘ 21/2 —4‘, on petioles of 2—3‘, obtuse or shortly sugqarstet 
(more or less), often cuneately contracting at the base, sinuat or 
ribs and veins shortly pubescent underneath. Peduncle 
(in flower) 1—2‘, naked below, 10—12-flowered in the upper third or half, 
- bracts (1'/2“) 3 bractlets deciduous. Calyx 
rusty-tomentose, the tube cylindrical, 4—5“ long, the na 
or subulate lobes half as long or mii as long. Corolla moderately 
rved, 20” long ager 2” wide, slit beyond the middle at the back, pur- 
otish. blue, tomento Anthers glabrous. Berry pyriform. Seeds pale 
brown. — Delissea Mrtaitas Mann, Enum. no. 258.

7. ©. fissa, Hillebr. — A branching shrub, 10—12 ft. high. Leaves 
obovate- eet 16 >< 31/2‘, including the petiole in which they gradu- 
ally merge, acuminate, qreniats, glabrous above, sparsely hairy underneath, 
veins. Peduncle covered with coarse glan- 
dular hairs, as are the calyx and corolla, 1—2' long, 8—12-flowered; 
pedicels 6“, bracteolate; bracts 3-4”. Calyx-tube 3—4", the acute 
narrow-lanceolate lobes as long or longer. i 
and size like that of C. hirtella, the dorsal slit ee to the 
Anthers glabrous. — Delissea fissa, Mann, Enum. no 
Kauai, Kealia and Hanalei (Mann). — Has the aspect of C. hirtella. 
var. — Peduncle 2—3'; bracts 6". Calycine lobes 2—4 times as long 
as their tube. Otherwise as above. — C. humilis, Wawra, in Flora, 1873, 
p. 47, with a stem of only 1 ft.in length, was probably a ‘ae plant. The 
extent of the dorsal slit — to the middle in his specimen — has little 
value in this genus; in well developed flowers it pasre extends to 
base 
Kauai, Hanalei. 
8. C. recta. (Delissea), Wawra, in Flora, 1873, p. 
high, peers Leaves broad lanceolate, 1 ft. long, bluntly acuminate, 
gradually narrowing into a petiole of 1’, entire, glabrous, rather fleshy. 
Peduncle twice as long as the petiole, scaly (covered with small rudimentary 
leaves), racemose; pedicels filiform, 6“, sparsely pubescent, as are ealyx 
and corolla. Calyx globose, 5-toothe Corolla slender, straight, about 
2’ long, purple, with dorsal slit beyond the middle, the lobes obtuse 
Anthers glabrous. Berry subglobose, larger than a pea. Seeds brown.
