Cyrtandra longifolia Hillebr.; C. B. Clarke in DC. Monogr. Phan. 5:

Cyrtandra paludosa Gaud. var. longifolia Wawra, Flora 55: 558. 1872. 
Cyrtandra paludosa Lev. (not Gaud.) ms. 
U. Faurie, who collected the typical Cyrtandra longifolia, distributed it 
(no. 610) as Cyrtandra paludosa Gaud.; the plants were identified by H. 
Leveille. 
A. A. Heller collected specimens of a Cyrtandra, no. 2624, which he 
distributed to various herbaria as Cyrtandra longifolia and Cyrtandra 
Wahiawae n.sp. The former is in the herbarium of Cornell University and 
the latter in the Gray Herbarium; both bear the number 2624 and are 
identical. The plant is not referable to Cyrtandra longifolia, nor can it 
very well be retained as a new species as it is not sufficiently distinct from 
the former, but may best be disposed of as Cyrtandra longifolia Wahiawae 
(Heller) Rock. The plant is entirely glabrous throughout save the juvenile 
leaves; the leaves are smaller than in the species and are more distinctly 
petiolate. 
Cyrtandra longifolia 7 parallela C. B. Clarke in DC. Monogr. Phan. 
5:277- 1883-1887 
"Foliis oblongis, lateribus subparallelis; petiolis usque ad 5 cm., longis, 
minus alatis. C. longifolia typica Hillebrand ms." 
Ins. Sandwich. Hillebrand no. 327 in herb. Kew. 
This variety is too briefly described to enable any one to identify it. 
No locality is given other than Sandwich Islands. Hillebrand's specimens 
collected later do not bear the same names as those which he previously 
sent to Kew and Berlin; besides, none of the Berlin material ex herb. Hille- 
brand bears numbers. The var. 7 parallela is not known to the writer. 
A. S. Hitchcock collected a Cyrtandra, no. 15446 on Kauai, Waialeale, 
which may be referable to this variety of C. longifolia. That it belongs to 
one of the many varieties of C. longifolia there is no doubt. The inflores^ 
cence is cymose and the peduncle about i cm. long, otherwise it could be 
referred to C. longifolia var. arhorescens (Wawra) C. B. Clarke. It may 
also be a form of C. paludosa var. Gayana (Heller) Rock. The specimen 
• is too fragmentary to allow a definite diagnosis (no. 15446 in U. S. National 
Herbarium).
