A New Cyanea from Lanai, Hawaii 
By CHaries N. Forsres and Grorce C. Munro. 
The following interesting species of Cyanea was found by Mr. 
G. C. Munro and Mr. Frank Baldwin at Keomuku, Lanai, T. H. 
Cyanea Baldwinii sp. nov. 
PLATE XII. 
A shrub 15 dm. high, branching from the base; leaves elliptic-oblong, 
acute at the apex, obtuse at the base, irregularly, strongly, and acutely 
sinuate, glabrous and dark green above, scabrous or echinvlate and green 
below, membraneous, 30.4-39.9 cm. long, I1.4-12.3 cm. wide, with echinate 
petioles 7.9-9.2 cm. long; peduncle dark purple, 14 mm. long, sparingly 
echinate, few flowered, the bracts narrow-linear 9 mm. long, the pedicels 
slender, 2.4 cm. long; calyx purple at the base, sparingly pilose, the tube 
conical, 12 mm. long, the lobes oblong, abruptly acute, with a strong mid- 
vem and faint lateral ones, 10 mm. long, 3-4 mm. wide; corolla curved, 
purple, pilose, 5.9 cm. long, the lobes linear, 1.6 em. long; staminal column 
glabrous, the anthers bearded, 11 mm. long. Fruit not seen. 
Type in the B. P. B. M. Herbarium, No. 674, collected at Lanathale, 
Lanai, Hawaii, September, I919, at an elevation of about 3000 feet, by 
G. C. Munro. Only a single bush of this rare species was seen by the 
collector. 
This plant is distinguished from either Cyanea Gibsonii Hbd. 
or from Cyanea atra Hbd. by its corolla which is sparingly pilose, 
not hirsute, by its lighter color, shorter corolla lobes, and by the 
pubescence of its leaves. In texture the leaves are similar to those 
of Cyanea Gibsonii Hbd. The anthers are shorter than those of 
Cyanea Gibsoniit Hbd. which measure 16 mm. in length, but are of 
the same length as those of Cyanea atra Hbd. Cyanea Baldwinii 
Forbes and Munro seems rather remotely removed from either 
Cyanea Gibsonii Hbd. or Cyanea atra Hbd. but cannot be well 
compared with any other species. Our illustration, plate I, is of 
the type specimen.
