CYRTANDREAE HAWAIIENSES 
at the apex, the bracts lanceolate-foliaceous, hirsute, distinctly 3-nerved, 
2 cm. long, 6 mm. wide; pedicel of the same length as the peduncle; calyx 
deeply divided to the lower third into five lanceolate, hirsute, i-nerved, 
acute lobes, 8-10 mm. long, 2.5-3 mm. wide; corolla white, slightly ex- 
ceeding the calyx, semi-erect or slightly curved, widening at the throat, 
hirtellous in the upper portion, the lobes of equal size, small and rounded; 
ovary elliptical, 4 mm. high, white, glabrous as is the short style; stigma 
broadly two-lobed, the lobes elliptical; anthers slightly protruding from the 
throat; fruit obovate to elliptical, glabrous, crowned by the short style. 
Hawaii: In dense rain forest near Glenwood, elevation 2400 feet, rarely 
ascending higher, flowering and fruiting August 19, 1918, Rock and Hashi- 
moto no. 131 16 (type) in herb. College of Hawaii. 
This species and Cyrtandra Giffardii are then apparently the only 
arboreous Cyrtandreae in the Hawaiian Islands. It is a many-branched 
small tree 15-20 feet in height with a single woody trunk over five inches 
in diameter. It belongs to the section Schizocalyces Hillebr. and is related 
to Cyrtandra lysiosepala (Gray) Clarke, from which it differs in the single- 
flowered inflorescence, the small corolla lobes, the hirsute leaves and green 
calyx and bracts, which are white in C. lysiosepala. 
Cyrtandra Hashimotoi Rock n. sp. 
A much-branched, tortuose shrub 1-1.5 m. high, the branches rough and 
twisted, ultimate branchlets terete, nodose, and glabrous, with the exception 
of the apex, this coarsely hirsute with short, stiff, brownish-black hairs; 
leaves opposite, small, elliptical to obovoid, acuminate at the apex, acute 
at the base, 5.5^6.5 cm. long, 1.75-2.5 cm. wide, thick-coriaceous, dark 
green above, brownish beneath, with scattered stiff, reddish-brown hairs on 
the upper surface, glabrous on the lower, with the exception of the very 
prominently projecting midrib and veins which are hirsute; petioles hirsute, 
1-2 cm. long; flowers single in the axils of the upper leaves; peduncle 10-12 
mm. long, hirsute with brownish hairs; bracts or bractlets none; calyx 
divided to the base into linear-subulate lobes, these hirsute outside and 
subglabrous inside, i cm. long, less than i mm. wide, acute, and broader 
at the base; corolla nearly twice as long as the calyx, the tube narrow- 
cylindrical, curved, 2 mm. wide, strongly hirsute outside with the exception 
of the lobes which are subglabrous, rounded, small, equal in size and not 
spreading; ovary turbinate, puberulous or glabrous, the acute apex crowned 
by the short style; fruit unknown. 
Maui: Northern slopes of Mt. Haleakala in dense rain forest along the 
Waikanioi stream at an elevation of 4000 feet, in company with C. caulescens, 
C. Lydgatei, Hillebrandia sanduicensis, Gunnera petaloidea, etc., flowering 
September 3, 1918, Rock and Hashimoto no. 131 17 (type) in herb. College 
of Hawaii. 
C. Hashimotoi, named for my friend and companion T. Hashimoto, who 
discovered the species, is related to C. Lydgatei, from which it differs in the 
single flowers, the thick, leathery, small leaves, ebracteate peduncle, and 
the corolla, which is nearly twice as long as the calyx. It is intermediate 
between the sections Schizocalyces and Chaetocalyces, but must be referred
