68 Director's Annual Report. 
Cyanea Juddii sp. nov. 
Caule simplici, 12dm. altus; foliis lato-lanceolatis, membranaceis, integer- 
rimis, subter pubescentibus, 6 dm. longis, 18 cm. latis, cum petiolis aculeis, 
2.5 dm. longis; pedunculis 6-9 cm. longis, cum bracteis linearis ab base ad 
apicem, pedicellis bi-bracteis; floribus magnis, calyce puberulente vel gla- 
brata, lobis linearibus, obtusis, fimbriatis, 9-10 mm. longis, corolla falciformi, 
extus pubescente 3.2-3.8 cm. longa. Bacca ignota. 
Type locality, Pali at the head of Waiahole Valley, Oahu. 
Only one specimen was seen during a trip in the comany of Messrs. 
Albert Judd, Dr. C. M. Cooke and others. C. N. Forbes, No. 
1744,,O7- February 6, 1912. 
Stem 12 dm. high, without branches. Leaves widely lanceo- 
late, entire, glabrous above, finely pubescent below, especially 
along the nerves and mid-vein which is also sparingly aculeate, 
6 dm. long, 18 cm. wide, with a petiole 2.5 dm. long, sparingly 
armed with short, stout, yellowish prickles. Peduncles 6-9 cm. 
long, clothed from the base with linear oblong, obtuse bracts, 
which are finely fimbriate, 9-16 mm. long, 3 mm. wide, the 5-10 
flowers near the apex, the pedicels bi-bracteate near the middle. 
Calyx sparingly puberulent or glabrous, the tube obconical, 6 mm. 
long, the lobes linear oblong, obtuse, with the edges finely serrate. 
Corolla falciform, striped with dark purple and white, densely 
puberulent but appearing glabrous in dried specimens, glabrous 
on the inside, with a deep dorsal slit, 3.2-3.8cm. long. Staminal 
column glabrous, free. Berry not seen. 
I have hesitated for some time in deciding that this is really 
distinct from C. ¢ritomantha Gray, a species only known from the 
island of Hawaii. It differs in smaller flowers combined with 
minor characteristics. Both are readily separated from most other 
Cyanea by the densely bracted peduncle, but the Oahu species 
might be confused with the genus Rollandia. It may prove to be 
closely related to R. truncata Rock.
