The writer is familiar with this species only from herbarium specimens. 
His own species C. kohalae comes very close to it. Clarke's C. Brighami 
cannot very well be separated from C. Menziesii Hook. & Arn. There are 
only very slight differences such as texture of leaves, slightly shorter pedun- 
cles, etc. The main features are exactly the same. Clarke states that it 
differs from C. Menziesii Hook. & Arn. primarily in the larger fruits which 
even in a young state do not resemble those of C. Menziesii. Hawaiian 
plants are extremely variable, and different-sized fruits may be found on a 
single Cyrtandra bush. Clarke very briefly describes or rather mentions 
a var. /3 Gaudichaudiana "with leaves always opposite and never whorled, 
mature fruit 8 mm. long, ellipsoidal, not exceeding the calyx." It was 
collected by Gaudichaud and specimens are to be found in the herbaria of 
De Candolle and Delessert; according to Clarke it was found together with 
C. paludosa and was perhaps confused with it by Gaudichaud. Hillebrand 
reports: ''My specimens exhibit both opposite, ternate, and quaternate 
leaves, while in those collected by Menzies, Gaudichaud, and Mann they 
were quaternate." The variety /3 Gaudichaudiana of Clarke may be iden- 
tical with Hillebrand's specimens with opposite leaves. 
Gaudichaud's no. 851, Voyage Bonite, of which specimens may be 
found in the Berlin and Gray herbaria, is referred by Clarke to C. Brighami. 
The Gaudichaud specimen in the Gray Herbarium was identified by Asa 
Gray as C. Menziesii and marked as such in his own handwriting. 
Mann and Brigham's no. 310, which served as the type of C. Brighami 
C. B. Clarke, and of which a specimen is in the Gray Herbarium, was also 
identified by Asa Gray as C. Menziesii. The type is in the Kew Herbarium.
