Phyllostegia 



Growing with P. waimeae, but a very different plant. The 

 leaves are much larger, thicker, darker green, and have a 

 coarser pubescence. The racemes are much longer, and more 

 branched, the involucral bracts are shorter, the pedicels much 

 longer and more slender, and the calyx lobes broader at the 

 base. The flowers are about the same size, but white. It is 

 probably an undescribed species, but Hillebrand's treatment 

 of this genus, is not satisfactory, hence making it unsafe to 

 describe a new species without a more extensive suite of 

 specimens.

Stenogyne rotundifolia A. Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. 5:347. 

 1862. 

 Hillebrand has taken an unwarranted liberty with this spe- 

 cies. In his Flora, he re-names the type as var. montana, and 

 chooses another plant for his type of the species. The plant 

 which he calls 8. rotundifolia, is S. macraniha, M. & B. 402, and 

 S. haliakalae Wawra, according to his citation of synonyms, on 

 page 360.
