Type locality, ridges of Kaala at the head of Mokuleia valley, 
Oahu. C.-N Forbes, :-No: 1790,°0.. April 29, 1912: 
A slender tree 36 dm. high, with dark bark. Leaves ellipti- 
cal to elliptic-oblong in outline, with the base slightly truncate 
and emarginate or sub-cordate, apex acute, glabrous above, pale 
below with fine tomentum, 8.2-12.2 cm. long, 4.3-5.8 cm. wide, 
with petioles 1.1-1.5 cm. long. Flowers greenish, many, 9 to 25, 
on a distinctly peduncled, pubescent, paniculate cyme, the bract- 
lets subulate. Calyx divided to near the base, the lobes lanceo- 
late, pubescent, 2-4 mm. long. Corolla with a slender tube of 
about 9-10 mm. in length and triangular lobes of about 2-3 mm. 
long, glabrous. Anthers projecting beyond the tube. Ovary 
pubescent. Capsule not seen. 
This is most probably closest related to L. membranacea Mann, 
the inflorescence resembling that of ZL. fnzfolia Gray.
