Hab. Sandwich Islands : on trees, and on large blocks of lava. 



In the young state this bears a marked resemblance to the pre- 

 ceding species; but the adult plant is readily distinguished by its 

 somewhat quadrangular branches, and erect, appressed, carinate 

 leaves ; which at the base of the stem are subulate, setaceous, and 

 entire, while those of the branches are much shorter, ovate, apiculate, 

 and acute.
