CLERMONTIA GRANDIFLORA Gaud. Bot. Toy. Uranie (1826) 459: pi. 73; Presl Monogr.

 in Flora (1873) 31; Not Kauai, but Maui: Walder ober Waihee. 



Leaves obovate to oblong 7 to 10 cm x 2.5 to 3 cm on petioles of 1 to 4 cm, shortly 

 acuminate, bluntly serrulate or dentate, chartaceous glabrous dull; peduncle filiform, 

 pendulous 2 to 8 cm long bracteate at the middle, two flowered, pedicels slender bracteo- 

 late about the middle, sometimes cymosely 4 to 5 flowered by dichotomy of pedicels; 

 calyx glabrous greenish or purplish, thin, the lobes tubular, strongly curved before expan- 

 sion 5 to 6 cm long; corolla purplish somewhat longer than the calyx, berry pear- 

 shaped about 2 cm orange yellow. 



This quite distinct species occurs on the Islands of Molokai, Lanai, and Maui, 

 where it inhabits the rain forest from an elevation of 2000 to 5000 feet, or a 

 little higher. It is very common on West Maui, but especially at the summit of 

 Pun Kukui (5788 feet), at the edge of lao valley, in company with Lobelia 

 Gaudichaudii, Labordea, Wilkesia Grayana, etc. On Molokai it can be found 

 in the forest above Mapulehu and along a stream back of Kamoku. It is quite 

 conspicuous by its green, purplish-streaked corolla, which is pendulous on long 

 filiform peduncles, which characterizes it from all the other species. It is most 

 plentiful at 4000 feet elevation on the windward slope of Haleakala, East Maui, 

 in the dense mossy rain forest along Waikamoi, Puohaokamoa and Honomanu 

 gulch. On Lanai it grows in the more open dry districts at the ridge of Kaiho- 

 lena valley, where it is a shrub, while in the other more shaded localities it be- 

 comes a small tree 15 to 18 feet in height. 



The specific name grandifiora is rather misleading, as it is by no means the 

 largest flowering Clermontia, being exceeded by C. drepanomorpha and C. ar- 

 borescens.

Leaves oblong or obovate, lanceolate 10 to 18 cm x 1.5 to 4 cm glabrous above or 

 sparsely hispid underneath along the prominent reddish midrib, dark green above, lighter
