REVISION OF THE HAWAIIAN SPECIES OF CYRTANDRA 615 
no. 933, 934; flowering Dec. 3-14, 24-29, 1908, Rock no. 157 & 407 
in herb. College of Hawaii; Kaukonahua gulch, Wahiawa, flowering, 
May 15, 1909, Rock, no. 3029 in herb. College of Hawaii. 
MoLOKAi: Mapulehu Valley, Hbd. in herb. Berlin without date 
or number. 
The Oahu specimens are the typical var. degenerans; the plant 
occurs in the very wet forests usually in deep ravines and along stream 
beds in dense shade. It usually does not branch, but bears a crown 
of leaves at the end of a stem 3-4 m. high, with the inflorescence 
clustered in the leaf-axils. It is a rather handsome plant and re- 
sembles somewhat certain species of the lobelioideous genus Cyanea 
in habit. 
Hillebrand's specimens from Kalihi are identical with the writer's 
plants from the Punaluu Mts. of the same range.

MoLOKAi: Kalae, Hillebrand in herb. Berlin without date or 
number; Mapulehu Valley, flowering March 1910, Rock no. 12518 in 
herb. College of Hawaii. 
Maui: Honomanu Valley, along stream bed, northern slope of 
Mt. Haleakala, flowering, May 1911, Rock no. 12519. 
Hawaii: Valley of Holopalau iri Kohala, Hbd.; Hamakua, 
Paauhau no. 3, forest, flowering July 5, 1909, Rock nos. 4061, and 4062 ; 
Holokaiea gulch, back of Waimea, flowering and fruiting July 10, 
1909, Rock no. 4081 in herb. College of Hawaii. 
The Maui and Hawaii specimens have green, thin, glabrous calyces, 
and only the pedicel and nervature of the calyx is slightly hirsute, 
while the Molokai specimens have the whole calyx densely hirsute. 
The leaves in the Maui and Hawaii specimens are also thinner and 
broader towards the apex, than those of Molokai.
