"Foliis magnis sessilibus, spathulato-oblongis, subintegris, maturis fere 
glabra tis; calycibus 2-3 cm., semi-5-fidis, lobis lanceolato-linearibus. 
Ramuli teretes, crassi; novellae partes fulvo-villosae. Folia longa 3 dm., 
lata 7 cm., supra glabrata, subtus secus nervos fulvide pubescentia, nervi 
primarii laterales utrinque 12. Cymae axillares, pluriflorae, subcapitatim 
condensatae. Calyx viridis, angustus, extus glabriusculus, intus fulvo- 
hirsutus. Corolla extus glabra. Stamina 2, glabra; antherarum loculi 
oblongi, paralleli, rimis apice curvatis, mox in unam confluentitus. Ovarium 
cum stylo glabrum; discus brevis annularis. Bacca non visa. Exemplum 
mancum; folia nori certe opposita." 
Ins. Sandwich; Hawaii: Kohala, Hillebrand no. 333 in herb. Kew. 
This is the plant the writer mentioned under the Specimina excludenda 
of Cyrtandra paludosa, stating on page 611 of this publication (Amer. 
Journ. Bot. December, 1917): "Hillebrand's specimen from the Kohala 
Mts. Hawaii and referred by him to the above variety [C. paludosa var. 
integrifolia], with Knudsen's no. 137, is an entirely different plant and has 
absolutely nothing in common with C. paludosa or with C. longifolia; the 
leaves remind one very much of a species of Shorea. It represents an unde- 
scribed species." 
The specimen in the Berlin Herbarium (without number) is without 
flowers and possesses only a couple of old broken-up fruits from which the 
calyx has disappeared. Through cross references and the description the 
writer finally traced this specimen to C. B. Clarke's C. hawaiiensis from the 
Kohala Mountains. It certainly represents a different species, and in his 
notes on Cyrtandra made in Berlin, the writer suggested the name shoreae- 
folia; if Hillebrand had given numbers to his own specimens, as he did to 
those of his he sent to Kew, matters might have been less confusing.

"Foliis magnis petiolatis, oblongo-ellipticis subintegris, maturis fere 
glabratis; calyce 4 cm., lobis ovato-lanceolatis ; corolla 6-7 cm.; frutex 
lO-petaiis; ramus crassus; novellae partes minute tomentellae, pilis fer- 
rugineis parce additis. Folia longa 3-4 dm., lata 12 en., basi cuneata; 
nervus medius supra prope basin fulvide hirsutus; nervi primarii laterales 
utrinque 14; petioli 3 cm. Flores axillares condensati. Calyx tubulosus 
sub anthesis usque ad tertiam partem divisus, extus subglaber, intus fulvide 
tomentellus, lobis caudatis. Corolla tubulosa, leviter caudata, extus 
glabra; lobi 2 cm., rotundati. Bacca non visa."

If this is really a Hawaiian species, it certainly possess the largest 
flowers of any of our Cyrtandreae. The description of the calyx places 
this species at once in the section Cylindrocalyces. It is evidently closely 
related to the writer's Cyrtandra waianuensis, from which it differs in the 
exceedingly large flowers and the 3-cm.-long petiole.
