There is no doubt that C. malacophylla is identical with C. paritii- 
folia. The only question arises as to the locality mentioned; the 
specimen cited by C. B. Clarke as the type of C. malacophylla is sup- 
posed to be from Kauai (ex coll. Hillebr. in herb. Kew). The descrip- 
tion answers perfectly to the specimen (ex herb. Hillebr.) in the 
College of Hawaii Herbarium, which is part of Hillebrand's type of 
C. paritiifolia. Drake del Castillo also unites these two plants (111. 
Fl. Ins. Mar. Pac). 
C. malacophylla is mainly distinguished by the small leaves, deeply 
and broadly lobed calyx and glabrous corolla. 
Hillebrand's specimen in the Berlin Herbarium was originally 
labeled Cyrtandra cordifolia var. suhglahra. 
Cyrtandra malacophylla erosa Rock n. var. 
A small brittle shrub 1.5 m. high; leaves as in the species, the margin 
erose-dentate, green and densely tomentose above, yellow and villous 
beneath especially on midrib and veins; peduncle much longer than 
in the species, 5 cm. long; bracts ovate, acute, dentate in the upper 
part; pedicels 1.5-2 cm.; calyx oblong-campanulate, the lobes broad 
and short, 3-4 mm. long; corolla long-exserted, curved, hirsute in the 
upper part; ovary glabrous.
