A Hawaiian Hibiscus That Should Be Widely Cultivated. (Hibiscus 



BRACKENRIDGEI A. GRAY, S. P. I. NO. 50693.) 



The deep canary-yellow flowers of this exceedingly rare Hibiscus are 6 inches across. Only a few 

 wild plants are in existence (one is shown in Plate I), and the species seems not to have found its 

 way into American horticulture, although HiUebrand called attention to the possibihties of its 

 culture more than 30 years ago. (Photographed by J. F. Rock, Oahu. Hawaii, March, 1918; 

 P27004FS.)
