CYRTANDREAE HAWAIIENSES

Maui: On the edge of Honokawai gulch, elevation 4,500 feet, 
boggy forests, West Maui, flowering Aug., 1910, Rock and Hammond 
no. 81 71, type in herb. College of Hawaii. 
This variety differs from the species mainly in the hirsute corolla, 
short-lobed calyx, longer peduncles, and erose-dentate leaves. This 
variety and C. cordifolia gynoglahra seem to be intermediate between 
C. cordifolia and C. malacophylla.

Cyrtandra Wawrai is certainly a well-marked species and is peculiar 
to Kauai. Heller states: ''Described by both Wawra and Hillebrand 
as a branching shrub. In no case have I seen it branching." When 
growing at lower elevation on rock wall as for example in Hanalei and 
Olokele canyons it is unbranched. But the plants from Kaholuamano 
are several feet in height and are branching shrubs. The specimens 
from this latter locality are stouter and larger in every way.
