Nuttall, Esq., 1834. 
This plant possesses the true character of Schiedea, (Cha- 
misso and Schlechtendahl) a shrubby genus of Caryophylleous 
(or some have it Portulaceous) plants, as far as we can 
at present know, peculiar to the Sandwich Islands. It is 
extremely different from the only described species, S. ligustrina, 
Cham. and Schlecht. in its very ample panicle, smaller flowers, 
petioled and penninerved (not strongly 3-nerved) leaves. A 
third species exists in my Herbarium, which may be called S. 
Menziesii*
