New Hawanan Plants. 27 
Calyx deeply parted to near the base, the sepals ovate-acuminate, narrowed 
at the base, rusty pubescent on both faces, 1 cm. long, 5 mm. wide. Corolla 
(incomplete) sparingly pubescent on the outside, glabrous within. Ovary 
glabrous. Berry ovoid, glabrous, 1.2 cm. long, 8 mm. in diameter. 
Type in the B. P. B. M. Herbarium, collected in the mountains of 
Lanai, T. H., September, 1917, by C. N. Forbes, No. 348, L. 
Although this species belongs to the Schizocalyces of Hille- 
brand, it is more closely related to C. Munrot Forbes of the Cro- 
tonocalyces than to any other described species. 
Clermontia Samuelii sp. nov. 
PLATE X. 
While collecting botanical specimens on the northern slope of 
Haleakala, Maui, T. H., between the Keanae Gap and Kipahulu, 
at an elevation of about 6500 feet, the writer observed a very beauti- 
ful species of an undescribed Clermontia, in the dense rain forest a 
short distance west of an old cone called Wai Anapanapa. In color 
and shape the flowers resemble those of the common form of C. 
grandiflora Gaud, which is common on the western slopes of Hale- 
akala in the vicinity of Ukulele, but in other characters the plant 
differs widely from any of the described species. While related to 
C. grandiflora Gaud. in character of flowers and in size of leaves, 
it is at once separated by the character of its inflorescence, and the 
_pubescence of the leaves. This species is very distinct from C. 
kakeana Meyen and related species, having pubescent leaves; while 
the flowers at once separate it from C. parviflora Gaud. and its allies. 
It was the only Clermontia seen in the type locality, but the forest is 
very dense there, and practically unexplored. I take pleasure in 
naming the species in honor of Mr. S. A. Baldwin of Makawao, 
Maui, who very generously aided the Museum in the exploration of 
Haleakala, and to whom the writer is indebted for many kindnesses. 
Clermontia Samuelii has the following characters: 
Shrub, 12-18 dm. high, densely branched from the base, the branchlets 
covered with dense brownish pubescence which is purple on new growth. 
Leaves obovate to elliptical in outline, acute or sub-acuminate at the apex, 
acute or cuneate at the base, finely serrate with callous pointed teeth, with 
fine soft whitish tomentum on both faces but most so below, very dark 
green above but not shiny, dark but much paler below, rather thin chartaceous 
when dry, 6.4-7.4 cm. long, 2.3-3.2 cm. wide, on pubescent petioles of 1.4-1.6
