DISTRIBUTION OF PLANTS. 



shore of Oaliu. The same species apparently, but with white flowers, growing on the 

 North coast of Hawaii. (Specimens fi-om the Marquesas Ishuids are mentioned by 

 Persoon in A. D. 1S05, a date too early for the plant to have been introduced there by 

 colonial Whites). 



Ocymum ; compare (No. 1 Samoa to the Feejee Islands) ; sujall leaves. Frequent on the 



Southeast portion of Hawaii. 

 (No. 2); habit of the last species; leaves woolly on both sides. (Tauai; and 



perhaps on Oahu). 



Phyllostegia (No. 1); leaves reticulate; flowers small, pink or rose-colored. Near the 



Great Crater, at the elevation of about 4000 feet. 

 nov. sp., (No. 2) ; setose, bristly ; flowers white ; calyx very large, and flowers 



rather small. "Puna" on Hawaii, at the elevation of about 4000 feet, Brackenridge. 

 (No. 3) ; a third species. Leaves smooth, subcordate; calyx-teeth short; flowers 



large, purple, and ornamental. Frequent throughout the forest on Mauna Kea, and in 



other localities. 



— ; perhaps not distinct from the last; leaves sessile. In the mountain-defile across 



West Maui. 



(No. 4). Salvia-like, trailing; teeth or rather lobes of the calyx, broad and 



somewhat obtuse; flowers small, white. In the forest on Mauna Kea, at the elevation of 

 4500 feet. 



nov. sp., (No. 5); hirsute. In the forest on Mauna Kea. 



nov. .sp., (No. 6); pilose; calyx much smaller than in the last species, and the 



teeth rather short. In the forest on Mauna Kea. 

 nov. sp., (No. 7); entirely smooth ; leaves argutely serrate ; long pet.; teeth of 



the calyx nearly obsolete; flowers white. In the forest on Mauna Kea, at the elevation 



of 3000 feet. 



nov. sp., (No. 8). Not trailing; habit of Salvia; leaves cordate-ovate, with a 



deep sinus. In the sands of the low isthmus on Maui. — The same species perhaps, on 

 barren ridges on Tauai, the leaves seeming narrower, with the under surface whiter, the 

 flowers long and white. 



nov. sp., (No. 9); ornamental ; slender white flowers tipped with pink. In the 



mountain-defile across West Maui. — Apparently the same species on the mountains 

 behind Honolulu, the under surface of the leaves seeming more reticulate. 



(No. 10); largest, white flowers; coarse serrate leaves. On the mountains on 



Oahu, and on West Maui. 



(No. 11) ; habit of the last, but much smaller; entirely smooth. In the mountain- 



Urtica urens?. Found by Mr. Rich "on Hawaii." Probably introduced by colonial 

 Whites. 



Moru.s alba, (bis Taheiti, United States, and No. 2 Northern Asia). Both the Chinese and 

 multicaulis varieties seemed in flourishing condition on the silk plantations on Tauai ; 

 having been introduced by colonial Whites. 



Broussonetia (No. 1, bis Metia to the Feejee Islands). " Largely cultivated by the 

 natives," according to Mr. Brackenridge. 



Artocarpus incisa, (No. 1, bis Metia to the Feejee Islands). Cultivated on the Wind- 

 ward and more fertile portion of the Group, and principally at Hilo ; but of late years 

 much neglected.
