Sub-erect, the squarish branches pilose. Leaves oblong-cor- 
date in outline, apex acute, rather coarsely crenate, villose on 
both faces, rather thin in texture, 7.7-14 cm. long, 3.7-9.7 cm. 
wide, with villose petioles 4.2-9.3 cm. long. Inflorescence a 
simple terminal raceme, 2-2.5 dm. long, the flowers opposite on 
pedicels 2 mm. long, the bracts lanceolate 7 mm. long. Calyx 
large, obconical or obconic-cylindrical, softly pubescent, with a 
few scattering longer hairs, 1.7 cm. long, the very short acute 
teeth 3 mm. long. Corolla large, pure white, the tube slightly 
curved, 2.2 cm. long; the lower lip 1.6 cm. long, upper lip 8 mm. 
long, pubescent. Nucules large, slightly glandular at the top, 
7 mm. long. 
The flowers have a strong aroma, according to Munro. The 
species is somewhat intermediate between /7. Grayana Hbd. and 
fT. truncata (Gray) Hbd., coming closest to the latter. From /. 
truncata it differs in the acute calycine teeth, and in the larger 
cordate leaves. The genus has not been reported from Lanai.
