of old ones, it would seem that both corolla and staminal 

 column are somewhat pubescent. The juice is yellowish and 

 thick. Collected at the type locality, "upper edge of the for- 

 est, near the tabular summit of Kauai." 

 September 9 (2793). 



Cyanea longifolia n. n. 



Delissea arborea Mann, Proc. Am. Acad. 7:180. 1867, not Presl. 



1836. 

 Cyanea arborea Hillebk. Fl. Haw. Is. 261. 1888. 



The earlier Delissea arborea of Presl invalidates Mann's later 

 one, and I have assigned to it the name given above. The 

 leaves are described as being two feet long. 



Cyanea spathulata (Hillebr.) 



Cyanea coriacea, var. spathulata Hillebr. Fl. Haw. Is. 254. 1888. 



This is described as having "leaves narrowly spathulate, 

 4-6 x f-1 inch, on petioles of \-l h inches, coriaceous, slightly 

 pubescent underneath along the prominent rib and veins." My 

 2768, collected at an elevation of 4000 feet, above Waimea, 

 Kauai, seems to belong here. The specimens came from a 

 shrub eight or ten feet high, branching above, the branches 

 slender, and of ten curved at the ends. It grew along the banks 

 of a forest stream on the plateau. The calyx and corolla are the 

 same as those of C. coriacea, and the leaves are of the same gen- 

 eral shape, but much narrower, more acute, and on petioles very 

 much shorter. In that species the racemes, although on long ped- 

 uncles, are only as long as the petioles, while in this theyare half 

 the length of the leaves. The habit of the two plants is also dif- 

 ferent. C. coriacea never branches, except in rare cases where 

 the stem has been broken or injured, while C. spathulata al- 

 ways branches, and grows at much higher elevations, and in 

 deep forests, instead of along river banks in open places on the 

 edge of the woods. The type came from the west side of the 

 Waimea river, "at heights of 4000 feet." C. coriacea has not 

 been found higher than 2000 feet, or, at most, 2500 feet, along 

 the Wahiawa. Figured as Plate LXV, which shows a single 

 branch.

Cyanea sylvestris n. sp. (Plate LXV I.) 



An unbranched shrub, four to eight feet high, with a trunk 

 one to two inches in diameter; leaves large, disposed at the 

 summit of the erect stem, lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, twelve
