POLYGONACEAE. 



POLYGONUM L. Sp. PI. 359. 1753. 



Polygonum glabrum Willd. Sp. PI. 2:447. 1799. 



Collected along the Hanapepe river, Kauai, at an elevation 

 of about 400 feet. Also observed on Kaholuamano, above Wa- 

 imea, at an elevation of 4000 feet, growing in a mountain stream 

 in the forest. Hillebrand says the species is "common along 

 streams and water courses." Except the stations mentioned 

 above, I have seen it at only one other place. It grows in the 

 stream in upper Nuuanu valley, a mile or two from the Pali.

Rumex acetosella L. Sp. PI. 338. 1753.

 Gay & Robinson's mountain house, a place which is used only 

 at intervals, and where nothing whatever is cultivated.
