 Hillebrand records this species from " the two highest peaks 

 of Oahu, Konahuanui and Kaala." On the plateau above Wai- 

 mea, Kauai, it is not uncommon, especially far back in the for- 

 est, where there is considerable moisture. Here it is a large 

 tree, 25 to 30 feet high, but on the summit of Konahuanui is 

 small and stunted. The leaves are continually in motion, like 

 those of Populus tremuloides. The type was collected on Kona- 

 huanui. by Lay and Coolie.
