Pubescens; foliis ellipticiis vel elleptico-oblongis, obtusis, basi obtusis 
vel subrotundatis, pubescentibus, crenatis, I.4-2.4 cm. longis, 0.9-1.2 em. 
latis, cum petiolis pubescentibus 0.6-1.1 cm. longis; verticillastris bifloris, 
pedicellis pubescentibus 3 mm. longis; calyce pubescente, lobis inaequalis 
2mm. longis, tuba 6 mm. longa; corolla pubescente, subviride, annulo integer- 
rimo, lobis superiore falcato longe producto; staminibus exsertis; nucellis

Type locality, Puu Huluhulu, Hawaii. C.N. Forbes, No. 
834, H. June ta, *1915. 
Diffuse, with sharply angular, finely pubescent branches. 
Leaves elliptical to elliptic-oblong in outline, obtuse or slightly 
rounded at the base, crenate, pubescent on both faces, 1.4-2.4 cm. 
long, 0.9-1.2 cm. wide, with pubescent petioles 0.6-1.1 cm. long. 
Flowers in whorls of two, on pubescent pedicels 3 mm. long. 
Calyx pubescent, sub-bilabiate, the obtuse teeth slightly unequal 
in length, hardly 2 mm. long, the tube 6 mm. long, veins quite 
distinct. Corolla greenish, tomentose, shaped asin S. mzcrophylla 
Benth., annulus complete or nearly so. Filaments and style long 
exerted, slightly hairy to glabrous. Nucules 5 mm. long. 
This species has about the same relationship to S. mzcrophylla 
Benth., that S. vagans Hbd. does to S. crenata Gray. From S. 
microphylla it differs most strikingly in its much larger pubescent 
leaves and laxer habit. Puu Huluhulu isa cinder cone of Mauna 
Kea which has become isolated by lava flows from the north side 
of Mauna Loa. [182]
