403. OREODAPHNE?- We collected specimens of a small tree growing at an elevation of about 2000 feet on the mountains above Waimea, Kauai, in fruit and with very young flower-buds, which may be an Oreodaphne. The young branches and inflorescence are silky with a rusty-colored pubescence; the leaves (2 to 4 inches long, by 14 to 20 lines wide) are densely reticulate-veiny but not scrobiculate, smooth and shining above and glabrate beneath; the panicles are short, axillary, and few-flowered.

vix carinatis; semine tetragono-obovato scrobiculato-rugoso. Kauai.
Oahu. Allied to E. clusiefolia, but much taller, inclining to be sim-
ple stemmed and arborescent, glabrous, except the slight pubescence
on the involucre, and a deciduous tomentum on the capsule. Leaves
from 1 to 5 inches long, and from 10 to 20 lines wide, much thinner
than in E. clusiefolia, and the primary veins (from 20 to 30 pairs)
more evident, but the ultimate reticulation of veinlets less distinct; the
apex never retuse, usually pointed. Petioles 3 to 6 lines long. Pedi-
cels 2 to 3 lines long, sometimes solitary. Lobes of the involucre
almost obsolete, emarginate. Styles short; their lobes short and
thickish. Capsules small, acutely triangular-3-lobed, and glabrous
(immature ?), or much larger, 2 lines long, the cocci obtuse on
the back. Seed coarsely scrobiculate-rugose." Gray, mss.
