ers solitary in the axils of the upper leaves on pedicels of 38 

 mm. (50-76 mm. when with fruit) ; calyx persistent, with ovate- 

 lancealate acute lobes free to near base, and half the length of 

 the corolla, punctate; the imbricate corolla large, rotate-campa- 

 nulate, cream-colored, 25-38 mm. in diariieter, cut deeply into 

 5-8 ovate lobes, tube 4 mm. long; stamens half the length of the 

 corolla or little more, the rather long filaments united at the base 

 by a granular membrane, anthers erect ; style little shorter than 

 the stamens ; capsule ovoid, smooth, 12 mm. or more long, lig- 

 nescent, glossy inside, opening by 5-10 valves; seeds numerous. 



This plant is sometimes covered with hair, flies, and dirt, which 

 adhere to the very viscid inflorescence and leaves ; the large, 

 showy flowers are of striking beauty (February to March). In 

 the herbarium the dried specimens leave large oil spots on the 

 paper. 



The type is number 1770, in the herbarium of the Board of 

 Agriculture and Forestry of the Territory of Hawaii, collected 

 on the highest ridge west of Halemanu, Kauai, on rather open 

 places at an elevation of 4500 feet (February 14, 1909). A few 

 shrubs were seen in the woods back of Kalalau.
