stem, are very densely bearded with stiff and reflexed, many-jointed, brownish-red hairs: these are much longer, denser, and more persistent than those of the rest of the plant. The ample foliaceous bracts, characteristic of the related C. grandiflora, are here wanting. Corolla fully an inch long, white, the throat ampliate, and the lobes widely spreading. It is to be regretted that the specimens secured of this remarkable species are scanty and imperfect. (M. & B. 616 pro parte.)

314. CYRTANDRA LESSONIANA, Gaud. 1. c. t. 54; Hook. & Arn. l. c. p. 91; Gray, 1. c. p. 351. C. Hillebrandi, Oliver, in herb. Gray, is apparently a form of this species with broadly ovate calyx-lobes, which are separated nearly or quite to the base. There is also another form, if it be not a distinct species, with very narrow, almost linear calyx-lobes, which are more or less united, in some cases forming a tubular calyx which is split down on one side, or with a single free lobe; the corolla is arcuate with a broad lip, and the leaves prominently reticulate-veiny beneath. (M. & B. 617, 77 pro parte.)

315. CYRTANDRA PALUDOSA, Gaud. 1. c.; Hook. & Arn. 1. c.; Gray, 1. c. Described as glabrous, but showing a soft fulvous pubescence on the young shoots in the more common form of the species, which becomes quite pronounced on the petioles and large veins of the leaves as well, and with something of the character of that of C. anobarba, on a form (probably referable here) from the foot of Wahiawa falls, Kauai, where it is constantly kept moist by the spray.

Macræ in foliage and inflorescence; but the leaves are narrower, the larger ones 6 or 7 inches in length by 3 or 4 in breadth; the peduncles are much longer, as also the pedicels, the latter nearly half an inch long, and hirsutely pubescent; the flowers are nearly twice as large and pubescent; the calyx lobes linear and obtuse. Ovary almost glabrous. Immature fruit half an inch long, ovate, inclining to globose. (M. & B. 615.)

On the northwest side of Haleakala, East Maui, at 6000 or 7000 feet elevation. By its several-flowered whorls, and by the lower lip being longer than the upper, this is most nearly related to the large-leaved group, but resembles S. diffusa in its

manner of growth, its small leaves, and general aspect. Spreading, much branched, suffruticose at the base. Leaves 7-10 lines long, 4-6 lines wide, the crenatures often a line and a half deep; petioles 3-4 lines long. Calyx about two lines long, on a pedicel little shorter than itself. Flower 3 or 4 lines long, the lower lip large in proportion, nearly 2 lines long. The sterile specimen referred to by Gray, 1. c. p. 348, is from the same locality and belongs here.

Prodr. 11, p. 706. (M. & B. 387; Remy, 462, 463, the normal form.) The normal form of this species is that of a tree 20 to 40 feet high, which is usually found growing on the outskirts of forests at medium elevations, and in rather dry places. With that, it seems necessary to connect a form, in all details of structure apparently similar, but with the leaves much thickened and succulent, as also the petals in a less degree, and growing as a decumbent shrub on the sea-coast, where seeds have doubtless been carried by mountain torrents. (M. & B. 585; Remy, 461.) The wood of this species has very much the fragrance of sandal-wood and is known as bastard sandal-wood. It is exported to some extent as sandal-wood, but does not appear to retain its fragrance so well.
