Kauai in the mountains of Halemanu, where it is well established

SAPINDACEAE 
Soap-berry Family. 
The Soap-berry family is represented by several introduced spe- 
cies and mention must be made of Sapindus saponaria L., the Soap- 
berry Tree, which is also a native of Hawaii. Only a few trees are 
cultivated in Honolulu, one at the Government Nursery and another 
on the Beretania Street side of Airs. Jaeger's grounds. A iew trees 
of the Longan, Euphoria longana Lam. and one or two mature ones 
of the Chinese Litchi, Litchi chinensis Sonn., are also in cultivation. 
The only species planted for ornamental purposes is Harpullia 
pendula Planch, of which a specimen may be seen in the Queen's 
Hospital grounds. It is a native of Australia, and when in fruit is 
quite attractive, the black seeds being handsomely contrasted against 
the orange-yellow capsule. It is erroneously known as H. Hi/Hi 
in Honolulu. 
The family Rhamnaceiae, or Buckthorn family, is represented by 
Zizyphus jujuba Mill., the Jujube, a native of tropical Asia but now 
widely distributed. Several trees occur in Honolulu, as in the 
Queen's Hospital grounds and in the premises of Airs. M. E. Foster, 
Nuuanu Avenue. 
Of the Vitaceae, or Grape family, the genus Leea is now under 
cultivation. The writer is responsible for the introduction of three 
species: Leea manillensis Walp., from the Philippines; Leea sambu- 
cina Willd., and L. aeuleata Blume from Java. They are quick- 
growing, small trees, with handsome inflorescences, the first species 
being very attractive on account of the large red inflorescence. 
The family Elaeocarpaceae is represented by a single tree, 
Elaeocarpus grandis F. v. M. a native of Australia. A single tree 
of E. grandis occurs in the Government Nursery grounds on King 
Street.
