No Specimen of Hillebrand's C. Pickeringii (3 var. crassifolia is in 
Hillebrand's herbarium, nor in any other herbarium so far as the 
writer is aware. His type was evidently distributed or was lost. 
The description however answers the writer's material from the sum- 
mit ridges of Punaluu, as far as the inflorescence is concerned; the 
leaves have no resemblance to leaves of C. Pickeringii, and Hillebrand 
gives no description of them under his var. crassifolia. The plant is 
totally distinct from C. Pickeringii even in habit. It is of much smaller 
stature and the thick fleshy leaves occupy a vertical position on the 
horizontally arranged petioles, giving the plant a peculiar aspect. 
Cyrtandra mauiensis Rock n. sp. (See PI. XIX) 
A tall shrub 3 m. or more high, the branches quadrangular, with 
large leaf scars, densely hirsute with brownish hairs towards the apex; 
leaves large, obliquely cordate at the base, subcaudately acuminate 
at the apex, thick-coriaceous, pubescent above, tomentose under- 
neath, but villous along the midrib and veins, the margin denticulate- 
serrate, 15-22 cm. long, 10-14 cm. wide, on hirsute petioles 5-1 1 cm. 
long; inflorescence in the axils of the lower leaves; peduncle 3.5-6 cm. 
long, hirsute; bracts ovate-oblong, acute, hirsute, caducous, 24 mm. 
long, 12 mm. wide; pedicels several to ten, up to 2.5 cm. long, with 
additional linear-oblanceolate bracts at the base of some of the pedicels; 
calyx oblong, nearly 2 cm. long, divided more than one-third its 
length, or irregularly, into ovate acute lobes, hirsute inside and outside; 
corolla exserted one half its length, hirtellous outside, ampliate above 
the middle and straight; ovary elongate, elliptical-oblong, glabrous; 
style apparently continuous with the ovary, glabrous; fruit glabrous, 
elliptical, enclosed in the calyx.

May, 191 1, Rock no. 13028, type in herb. College of Hawaii. 
This species is related to C. malacophylla C. B. Clarke, but differs 
from it in the large, ovate-oblong, subcaudately acuminate leaves, 
large inflorescence, oblong calyx, straight, ampliate, and hirsute corolla. 
Cyrtandra mauiensis truncata Rock n. var. 
Leaves smaller, ovate-acuminate, but contracted at the base and 
cuneate-truncate to rounded or subcordate, the petioles as long as in 
the species but densely strigosely hispid with golden-brown hairs; 
inflorescence many-flowered; bracts smaller; calyx larger, the two 
lower lobes oblong-acute, the three upper very short, 3-4 mm. long, 
the whole calyx irregularly split, villous on both sides; fruit glabrous, 
ovoid-oblong, the young fruits crowned by the long recurved articulate 
style, later becoming caducous.
