CYRTANDREAE HAWAIIENSES 
53 
From the latter specimen (Wawra no. 1820a) the College of Hawaii 
possesses parts, as leaves and inflorescence. The writer has also examined 
Wawra's plant which bears Clarke's determination; it is obvious that the 
specimen belongs to C. lysiosepala and cannot be retained as a distinct 
species, but must be considered a variety. It differs from C. lysiosepala in 
the longer leaves and petioles, as well as in the more than 3-flowered 
cyme (Clarke states 3-12-flowered) ; the sepals are also smaller and acute 
instead of spathulate. 
Cyrtandra Conradtii Rock n. sp. 
A shrub, the branches terete to subquadrangular near the apex, hirtel- 
lous; leaves ternate, lanceolate-oblong, 20-26 cm. long, 6.5-8 cm. wide, 
thin-chartaceous, acute at the apex, gradually merging into a petiole of 
2-3.5 cm., hispidulous above, glabrate to minutely pubescent below, but 
distinctly pubescent along the prominent midrib and veins, the margin 
sharply serrate; calyx white, divided to near the base into linear, subacute 
to obtuse lobes, 12-14 mm. long, 3-4 mm. wide, hirtellous, distinctly nerved; 
corolla glabrous to puberulous, slightly exceeding the calyx, the tube straight, 
the lobes oblong; ovary elongate, acute, glabrous as is the style; stigmatic 
lobes ovate, glabrous. 
MoLOKAi: Mapulehu Valley, 300-400 feet elevation, flowering March 
1910, Rock no. 10340 (type), in herb. College of Hawaii. 
This species is named for Mr. C. C. Conradt of Mapulehu, Molokai, 
to whom the writer is indebted for many courtesies and without whose 
hospitality the exploration of this wonderful valley could not have been 
accomplished so successfully. Cyrtandra Conradtii is related to C. lysio- 
sepala but has the habit and appearance of C. longifolia var. degenerans, 
or of C. paludosa. The calyx is however that of C. lysiosepala. The leaves 
are rather large, ternate, and sharply serrate, and the calycine lobes large 
and obtuse. Mapulehu Valley and the mountains immediately above it are 
very rich in Cyrtandreae. 
Cyrtandra biserrata Hillebr. Fl. Haw. Isl. 329. 1888 
A shrub 1.5-2 m. high, the branches and inflorescence hirsute with 
spreading rust-colored hairs; leaves quaternate, green on both faces, papil- 
loso-hispid on both faces, elliptical-oblong, 10-12. 5 cm. long, 3.75-5 cm. 
wide, on petioles of 2.5-5 cm., cuspidate, acuminate at the base, deeply and 
unevenly serrate, almost laciniate; peduncles 8-12 mm. long, 2-flowered, 
the pedicels 12-16 mm., the lanceolate bracts 6 mm.; calyx thin, hairy, 
8-10 mm. high, parted deeply into five lanceolate, acute lobes; corolla 
14-16 mm. long, villous, exserted, the slender tube slightly curved and 
ampliate at the throat, the large spreading lobes bilabiate; ovary glabrous, 
the style 6 mm. long and broadly lobed; berry ovoid, 18 mm.

locality, date or number, part of type in herb. College of Hawaii; Pukoo, 
Mapulehu, flowering Oct. 8, 1916, A. S. Hitchcock no. 15011, in U. S.
