The forms of var. sandwicense range in value 
from those which are probably ecological 
modifications to those which approach varie- 
tal distinction. Oahu Form 5 was at first 
thought to be possibly a variety because of its 
flowers with only four stamens, but the speci- 
men collected by St. John (number 23291) 
from the center of its range at Puu Kanehoa 
shows that the stamen character is not con- 
stant. 
PACIFIC SCIENCE, VoL V, January, 1951 
The most perplexing forms of var. sand- 
wicense are those found on Molokai, and addi- 
tional field work must be done before a final 
systematic arrangement of them can be made. 
Molokai Form 3 is on the borderline of 
varietal status, but it is being kept as a form 
at present because its best character — con- 
stantly and sharply serrate leaves — does not 
distinguish it from populations on other 
islands within which serrate leaves are not 
uncommon.

Fig. 2. Distribution of the other Hawaiian groups of M. sandwicense. Circles represent var. Fauriei, squares 
ssp. St.-Johnii, erect triangles var. stellatum, inverted triangles var. Degeneri, semicircles var. lanaiense. Solid symbols 
indicate exact locality, open symbols indicate approximate locality; specimens of really doubtful locality and those 
examined after the completion of this plate are not mapped. (Base map, courtesy of Bernice P. Bishop Museum.)
