differences between it and DoUchos galeatus of Gaudichaud, and concluded that the latter species "is also a 
Canavalia.’’ The new International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, adopted at Stockholm in 1950 (Article 
42), renders invalid such binomials as not having been printed in juxtaposition. Hence, the clearly stated 
combination by Hooker and Arnott is now illegitimate, as nowhere, not even in the index, did they print 
the generic and specific names together. The first person to print the name in juxtaposition seems to have 
been Vogel in 1836. 
8. Kokio-keokeo. Hibiscus Arnottianus A. Gray forma. Hibiscus waimeae Heller. 
She found it "on the sides of rocky ravines, and is usually found from one thousand to two thousand feet 
above the sea level.” 
9. Kokio-ula. Hibiscus Arnottianus A. Gray forma. Hibiscus Kokio Hbd* 
11. Hauhele. Hibiscus Youngianus Gaud. Hibiscus Youngianus Gaud 
13. Koali-ai. Ipomoea palmata Forsk. Ipomoea cairica (L.) Sweet var. hederacea Hall. f. 
19. Poolanui. Coreopsis cosmoides A. Gray. Bidens cosmoides (Gray) Sherff. 
She said, "It generally grows under the shade of open forest in the mountain regions at various heights 
above the sea, but seldom less than two thousand feet.” 
20. Ukiuki. Dianella ensifolia Red. Dianella sandwicensis H. & A. 
This was a misidentification. "The uki grows on the high lands, the cool air of the mountains seeming a 
necessity of its existence.” 
25. Kauila. Alphitonia excelsa Reiss. Alphitonia ponderosa Hbd. 
This was a misidentification with A. excelsa of Australia. She said, "It is mostly found on the lee-sides of 
the islands, from two thousand to three thousand feet above the sea.” 
27. Kolokolo-kuahiwi. Lysimachia Hillebrandi Hook. fil. Lysimachia daphnoides (Gray) Hbd- 
Hillebrand himself made this determination and so cited the Sinclair plate. She said, "This plant is only 
found on the high lands of the interior, from three to five thousand feet above the level of the sea.” 
33. Ohenaupaka. Scaevola glabra H. & A. Scaevola kauaiensis (Degener) St.John. 
This was a mis determination. She said, "This is a native of the far misty mountains, from four to five thousand 
feet above the level of the sea, where for more than half the year it is wet with the mountian rains, and 
enveloped in the trade-wind clouds.” 
34. Iliahi. Santalum ellipticum Gaud. Santalum pyrularium Gray. 
This was a misdetermination. 
35. Nohuanu. Geranium cuneatum Hook. var. Geranium humile Hbd. var. kauaiense Rock. 
This was a misdetermination. It was "found on the high, bleak swamp-land of the interior, at an elevation 
of about four thousand feet above the sea.” 
36. Puahanui. Broussaisia pellucida Gaud. Now written Broussaisia pellucida Gaud, forma pellucida. 
It was "found only upon the wooded mountains from three thousand to four thousand feet above the sea, 
where it grows under the shade of the dense forest, and where the vegetation is almost constantly kept 
damp by rain or mist.” 
37. Akaakaawa. Hillebrandia sandwicensis Oliv. Hillebrandia sandwicensis Oliv. 
"It is found in the greatest profusion in shady and humid mountain ravines, near the misty spray of water- 
falls, . . .” 
43. Akala. Rubus hawaiensis Gray ? Rubus hawaiiensis Gray. 
She reported it "is generally found growing near streams, or on damp ground, far in the cool mountains. 
It is rarely seen at a less elevation than three thousand feet.” 
44. Papala. Charpentiera ovata Gaud. var. ? Charpentiera ovata Gaud. 
She reported it "grows only upon the highlands from two to three thousand feet above the sea.” 
INDIGENOUS OR ENDEMIC SPECIES KNOWN ON BOTH KAUAI AND NIIHAU 
12. Koali-awahia. Ipomoea (Pharbitis) insularis Choisy. Accepted name now Ipomoea congesta R. Br. 
She reported this a most common plant, "not found in the forest but almost everywhere else, from the sea- 
coast to about two thousand feet elevation.”
