To unite this well-marked plant with V. articulatum, as Hille- 

 brand has done, is certainly not admissible. The slender, terete 

 joints readily separate it from all of the forms of that species. 

 On Oahu, it was found at the Pali, growing on Mdba sand- 

 wicensis. On Kauai, it occurred only at high elevations, on 

 the "Lehua" tree. A marked peculiarity is that it is found 

 only on trees which grow on the edges of steep slopes, as on 

 the edge of the plateau above Waimea, Kauai.

Santahim ellipticiim Gaud. Bot. Voy. Uranie, 442. 1830. 



This is the plant referred to by Hillebrand as 8. freycineti- 

 anum var. delta ellipticum, and figured by Mrs. Sinclair, in 

 her illustrations of indigenous Hawaiian plants. Collected on 

 the ridge between the Hanapepe and Wahiawa rivers, Kauai, at 

 about 2000 feet elevation. It is not uncommon on the plateau 

 above Waimea. It is a small tree, fifteen to twenty feet high.

Exocarpus sandwicensis Baill. Adansonia, 3: 109. 1862. 

 Exocarpus br achy stachys Hillebr. Fl. Haw. Is. 391. 1888. 



Collected on the lower slopes of Waiolani, Oahu, at an eleva- 

 tion of about 2500 feet. A medium- sized, much branched shrub, 

 some branches bearing large leaves, others only the small, 

 scale-like ones. In Proc. Am. Acad. 7:198, Mann cites this as 

 v&r.beta foliosa Gray,1 c. Upon following up the devious track 

 of the 1. c, which our forefathers were so fond of using, we 

 find that it refers to "Bot. Expl. Exped. ined." As no descrip- 

 tion accompanies the name, it is a nomen nudum. Anyway, it 

 is antedated by Baillon's name. Very probably E. casuarinae 

 Baill., is only the leafless form of this species, as his type 

 came from Oahu, and there seems to be but one species on that 

 island.
