The plant in question is certainly distinct enough at least to be classed 
as a variety of C. kalichii. Clarke described it as a species and even classed 
it in a different section from C. kalichii. For further consideration of the 
specific or varietal merit of this plant see the discussion under C. kalichii.

A small tree with slender branches; leaves elliptical, acuminate at both

peduncle; bracts linear, i cm.; calyx campanulate, 1.5 cm., deeply spHt into 
linear, hirsute lobes which are recurved at the apex when with fruit; corolla

Oahu: ^^Waldschluchten des Waiolani,'' Wawra no. 1792, in herb. 
Vienna, and part of type in herb. College of Hawaii; gulches of Konahuanui, 
Kalihi, Moanalua, Kaala, Hillebrand, in herb. Berlin, herb. College of 
Hawaii, and Gray Herbarium; Punaluu Mts., Koolau range, flowering 
Aug. 1908, Rock, in herb. College of Hawaii; same locality, Nov. 14-21, 
1908, Rock no. 884, in herb. College of Hawaii; Punaluu, May 1910, 
Faurie (as C. oahuensis), co-type in herb. College of Hawaii. 
The species is by no means confined to Mt. Waiolani, but occurs all 
along the western range of the Koolau mountain chain. The specimens 
from the Punaluu mountains are a little less hairy and occasionally the 
calycine lobes are a little wider, which fact perhaps persuaded Leveille to 
describe it as a new species.
