CYRTANDREAE HAWAIIENSES 
51 
(C. Fauriei), The plant is a mere variety of C. lysiosepala and was as such 
recognized by Hillebrand, who enumerates it as var. 5. It differs from the 
species mainly in the ternate leaves, and lanceolate acute sepals instead of 
spathulate ones; otherwise it is the same. 
Cyrtandra lysiosepala latifolia Rock 
Cyrtandra lysiosepala var. jS Hillebr. Fl. Haw. Isl. 330, 1888. 
A small tree or shrub, the branches quadrangular, glabrous, but hirtel- 
lous at the' apices; leaves opposite, broadly ovate, acuminate at both ends, 
subglabrous above, or with scattered hairs, fawn-colored and pubescent 
below, dentate to serrulate, 10-15 cm. long, 5-7.5 cm. wide, on petioles of 
3-5 cm.; inflorescence a 3-flowered cyme, the peduncle 2.5-3.5 cm., bracts 
linear-lanceolate, acuminate, pedicels 1.5-3 cm.; calyx lobes subulate 
{teste Hillebrand) but often linear-lanceolate, acuminate, broadest at the 
middle, 1.5-2 cm. long, 2.5-4 wide; corolla the length of the calyx, 
hirtellous; ovary ovoid, glabrous, the glabrous style articulate near the 
ovary; fruit ovoid, glabrous.

Var. latifolia comes very close to var. Fauriei and could perhaps be 
classed with the latter. It differs from it in the opposite, broadly ovate 
leaves. Hillebrand states that the calycine lobes are subulate, which is 
not the case with specimens from Lahaina, West Maui. West Maui 
(Kaanapali and Lahaina) is diagonally across from Mapulehu, Molokai, 
and separated only by a not very wide channel. Birds can easily fly back 
and forth between these two nearest points carrying the small seeds in their 
crops. 
Cyrtandra lysiosepala pilosa Hillebr. Fl. Haw. Isl. 330. 1888 
A small shrub; branches hirsute at their apices; leaves broadly ovate, 
thin-membranous, acute at both ends, dentate to serrate but entire towards 
the base, 10-12 cm. long, 4-6 cm. broad, hirsute on both faces; petioles 
3-4.5 cm.; flowers single on slender peduncles, hirsute, as are the bracts, 
pedicel, and calyx; calycine lobes about the length of the corolla, subulate; 
corolla villous in the upper part, but glabrous below, ovary elongate, gla- 
brous; style glabrous; stigmatic lobes short.
