For the Hawaiian species the writer has adhered to the sections 
of Hillebrand rather than those of C. B. Clarke, who places together 
heterogeneous species and separates related ones. Clarke's section 
name Macrosepalae might be adopted for C. cordifolia and C. Wawrai 
and perhaps for C. tintinnahula but not for the other species. Much 
more satisfactory is Hillebrand's grouping based upon depth of divi- 
sion of the calyx. 
Cyrtandra kealiae Wawra, Flora 30: 565. 1872 
A shrub about 2 m. high; leaves opposite, the upper ones rarely 
ternate, elliptical-ovate, cuneate at the base ordecurrent, acuminate at 
both ends, on both sides somewhat covered with ferruginous hairs, 
especially along the midrib and veins underneath, the margin denticu- 
late, 7-16 cm. long, 4-7 cm. wide, the petioles 2-6 cm. long; flowers 
solitary in the axils on peduncles 5 mm. long, the pedicels 2 mm. long, 
the latter bi-bracteate at the base; bracts ovoid-oblong, about 7 mm. 
long, 3 mm. wide, hirsute with yellowish hairs as are the peduncle and 
pedicel; calyx urceolate, 14-18 mm. long, 6-7.5 nim. wide, including 
the 5 mm. long calycine lobes, densely hirsute outside with yellowish- 
brown hairs 1.5 mm. long, densely villous inside, the silky wool more 
than 2 mm. in length ; corolla twice as long as the calyx, hirsute outside, 
villous inside; ovary ovoid, glabrous as is the style; fruit 8 mm. long, 
ellipsoidal.

This species is readily recognized by the densely villous calyx and 
the short-peduncled single flowers. Wawra's statement is quite cor- 
rect, that it is difficult to differentiate the reproductive organs owing 
to the silky, glossy, yellowish-brown hair with which the persistent 
calyx is completely filled. In the writer's specimens the flowers are 
not fully developed; the ovary is glabrous but the style is pubescent 
at the apex only. Wawra states only that the ovary is ovoid, while 
C. B. Clarke states that the ovary is glabrous with the style. It is 
doubtful if Faurie's no. 629 belongs here, as the specimen in the College
