24-29, 1908, flowering, Rock no. 388, in herb. College of Hawaii; 
Kalihi Valley, flowering, Aug. 2, 1916, A. S. Hitchcock no. 14105, in 
U. S. Nat. Herb. 
Kauai: Around Pohakupili, Wawra no. 2 191 {foliis lanceolate- 
ellipticis), in herb. Vienna (teste C. B. Clarke). 
The form mentioned by C. B. Clarke under C. Pickeringii is re- 
ferred to that species on C. B. Clarke's authority. The writer has not 
seen this plant nor has he collected any plants on Kauai which could 
be referred to C. Pickeringii. 
In the writer's material of Cyrtandra Pickeringii the ovary as well 
as style is glabrous. In Hillebrand's plant the ovary and style are 
slightly pubescent; the leaves of his plants are large, measuring 16 cm. 
in length, and are rounded at the base. The leaves in the writer's 
plants from the Punaluu mountains are acute or acuminate at both 
ends as called for in the original description; the inflorescence is a lax 
cyme with peduncles 3.5 cm. long and pedicels of variable length up 
to 2.5 cm. 
Hillebrand classes C. honolulensis Wawra with Cyrtandra Picker- 
ingii A. Gray. It is true that the former is very close to the latter; 
Wawra himself says that he is at a loss exactly where to place this 
plant as it forms an intermediate between C. Pickeringii and C. Les- 
soniana. C. B. Clarke upholds Wawra's species and places it even in 
another section. The plant is not specifically distinct but may well 
be considered a variety of C. Pickeringii A. Gray. (See C. Pickeringii 
honolulensis (Wawra) Rock.) 
Cyrtandra Pickeringii waiheae Rock n. var. 
Cyrtandra Pickeringii forma ovato-elliptica Wawra, Flora 3 : 564. 1872 
Leaves ovate-elliptical, chartaceous, acuminate at the apex, 
rounded at the base, slightly asymmetrical, coarsely and irregularly 
serrate, pilose on both sides, 10 cm. long, 6 cm. wide, the petioles i cm. 
long; cyme with one or three pedicels; peduncle 3 cm. long, hirsute; 
pedicels of the same length, bracts small, ovate, 10-12 mm. long; 
calyx campanulate, thin, membranaceous, the lobes short, acute; 
fruit ovate, glabrous. 
Maui: " Um Waihee," Wawra no. 1819 in herb. Vienna, part of 
type in the herb. College of Hawaii. 
This variety is here referred to C. Pickeringii with some hesitation. 
The material is rather fragmentary, and in absence of flowers cannot 
be determined more definitely. It is distinct from C. Pickerijtgii,
