Cyrtandra hii, sp. nov. 
PLATE VI. 
Villose shrub, the pubescence on the younger branchlets and _ petioles 
dark purplish. Leaves elliptic-lanceolate, or oblanceolate in outline, acuminate 
at the apex, acutely tapering toward the base, finely serrate, at least in the 
upper portion, villose on both faces, nerves prominent on the lower side, 
15.8-16 cm. long, 3.8-4.3 cm. wide, petioles 2.9-3 cm. long. Inflorescence an 
open cyme, dark shaggy villose, the pedicels 2 cm. long, the bracts oval, 
5 mm. long. Calyx cup-shaped, broadly and shallowly lobed, the lobes acute, 
rusty villose on both faces. Corolla white, small, curved slightly projecting 
beyond the calyx, the lower petals the largest, white villous on the outside, 
the lower part of the tube glabrous, glabrous within, the tube 7 mm. high. 
Fruit ovoid, white. 
Type in the B> P. B. M. Herbarium, collected at the Hii mountains, 
Kauai, I’. H., October 22, 1916, by C. N. Forbes, No. 166, K. (fruit lacking). 
In the B. P. B. M. Herbarium from the same locality are No. 654, K, 
collected by C. N. Forbes and an unnumbered, undated sheet of specimens 
collected by Rev. J. M. Lydgate; collected at the Waioli Valley, Kauai, T. H., 
August 5, 1909, by C. N. Forbes, No. 132, K. 
This species has the calyx of the Crotonocalyx group, but the 
leaves of the Schizocalyx group. The calyx shows no tendency to 
split. The leaves of No. 132, K, 21.3 cm. long, 7.3 cm. wide and the 
petiole, 5.9 cm. in length, are larger than the type; other features 
the same. This species differs from C. Knudsenti Rock in the calyx, 
which is broadly lobed instead of narrow-lanceolate, and in the 
pubescence of the corolla which is villous, not hirsute. The calyx 
lobes are not parted below the middle. It shows relationship to C. 
kauaiensis Wawra in the thinner calyx, and pubescent ovary. 
Cyrtandra propinqua, sp. nov. 
PLATE VII. 
Shrub with pale rust-colored, spreading, hirsute hairs. Leaves cordate, 
opposite, abruptly acuminate at the apex, serrate (more coarsely serrate than 
in C. waiolaniu Wawra), papillose-hirsute above, pubescent below with the 
veins hirsute, 10.6-12.2 cm. long, 8.3-10.6 cm. wide, with hirsute petioles 4.5- 
5 cm. long. Inflorescence hirsute, flowers three, on a common peduncle of 
2.5-3.1 cm. long, the pedicels 1.8-2.3 cm. long; the bracts ovate, 1.4 cm. 
long, 8 mm. wide. Calyx hirsute with spreading hairs, 1.7 cm. high, split at 
the base into five Iunceolate sepals, which become recurved at the apex. 
Corolla as in C. waiolant, the pubescence silvery white and slightly longer. 
Berry not seen.
