the axils of the leaves and on the inflorescence. Leaves numerous, small, spathulate-linear, entire at the obtuse apex and mucronate, or slightly notched, one-nerved, tapering at the hirsute-ciliate base into a very short petiole. Panicle compound, diffusely branched, bracted. Calyx 2 lines long, the sepals lanceolate, acuminate, rather thick, narrowly scarious-margined, longer than the 3-valved capsule. Staminodia, stamens, etc., as in S. amplexicaulis. Seeds few, tuberculateroughened. (M. & B. 595.)

Molokai. — Leaves very narrowly linear, 2-3 inches long, a line wide, with smaller ones often fascicled in their axils. Inflorescence a very much crowded thyrsus, minutely pubescent. Sepals ovate, obtuse, many-nerved. Staminodia short, bifid at the apex. Stamens short, of about the length of the staminodia. Ovary ovoid. Styles 4-5, rather long. Capsule ovoid, shorter than the calyx. Seeds numerous (30-40), small. (Remy, 551.)

34. SCHIEDEA GLOBOSA (H. Mann, 1. c. p. 311): humilis; caulibus e caudice herbaceo erectis simplicissimis; foliis inferioribus obovatolanceolatis sessilibus 3-5-plinerviis, superioribus angustioribus parvis tripli-nerviis; cymulis plurifloribus in capitulum terminale globosum raro trifidum longius pedunculatum arcte congestis; sepalis ovatis obtusis infra medium nervatis capsula ovato-lanceolata 4-valvi brevioribus; staminodiis integerrimis obtusis staminibusque calyce 2-3-plo brevioribus; seminibus paucis rugulosis. Oahu. — Herbaceous, pruinose-puberulent on the upper part of the stem and on the inflorescence, otherwise glabrous. The simple branches rising from the base a span to a foot high, bearing 4 or 5 pairs of leaves. The lower leaves obovate-lanceolate from a narrowed sessile base, somewhat fleshy, about

4 inches long, and an inch wide or less, 3-5 nerved, the upper diminished into small subulate bract-like 3-nerved leaves, only three fourths of an inch long, and a line and a half wide. The upright stem bearing a compact globose thyrsus of an inch in diameter (rarely with two lateral ones), composed of numerous many-flowered short cymules. Sepals ovate, obtuse, nerved below the middle, a line and a half long, shorter than the ovate-lanceolate capsule. Staminodia very short, blunt, entire, about the length of the stamens. Seeds few, large for the section, and tuberculate-roughened. (M. & B. 580; Remy, 552.)

35. SCHIEDEA VISCOSA (H. Mann, 1. c. p. 311): decumbens, suffruticosa, glanduloso-pubescens; ramis adsurgentibus foliosis apice laxe 2-6-floribus; foliis breviter oblongis utrinque acutissimis petiolatis trinervatis demum glabratis; sepalis ovatis acuminatis plurinerviis capsulam 7-valvem superantibus; filamentis calyce brevioribus staminodia late ovata obtusa 3-plo superantibus, iis staminodiorum oppositis latioribus; seminibus plurimis tuberculato-rugulosis. At three thousand feet elevation, on the mountains of Waimea, Kauai.—This species differs so entirely in its aspect from the rest of the genus, in its almost trailing manner of growth, and in its peculiarly nerved leaves and large flowers (nearly half an inch long, forming a comparatively simple cyme), as to form quite a distinct section. Plant suffruticose, decumbent and spreading with branches 2 or 3 feet long, sending up suberect flowering stems 8 to 12 inches high. Whole plant covered with a glandular pubescence, which is viscous, especially on the peduncles and pedicels. Leaves 11-12 inches long, 4-5 lines wide, evenly tapering at each end to a sharp point, below into a margined petiole 2 lines long, becoming glabrate on the upper surface with age, nerved with three well-marked veins running from the base to the apex. The peduncled terminal cymes, composed of 2-6 flowers on pedicels about 6 lines long, arising from the axils of small (6 lines long and 1 line wide) floral leaves. The pubescent calyx 5-6 lines long, of five subpetaloid ovate-acuminate many-nerved sepals, which enclose and surpass in length the ovate-lanceolate 7-valved capsule., Staminodia widely ovate, obtuse, small in proportion to the size of the flower, a line long and nearly as wide at the base. Stamens 10; those opposite the sepals inserted with the staminodia, the filaments dilated subulate; those alternate narrowly subulate and a little shorter. Styles 7, short at first and stigmatose all round, but becoming longer with age. Seeds borne on a central placenta, very numerous, tuberculate-roughened with short obtuse points. (M. & B. 579.)

ALSINIDENDRON, H. Mann.

Calyx quadripartitus, sepalis decussatim imbricatis ovalibus subcarnosis albidis etiam sub anthesi conniventibus, raro cum quinto minimo interno. Petala et staminodia nulla. Stamina 10, margini disci tenuissimæ basi calycis accreti inserta: filamenta filiformia: antheræ lineari-oblongæ, utrinque emarginata. Ovarium uniloculare; ovulis plurimis columella centrali affixis: styli 4-7, breviter filiformes, apice intus stigmatosi. Capsula 4-7-valvis, polysperma. Semina estrophiolata. Frutex Sandwicensis, orgyalis, fere glaber; ramis foliosis; foliis oppositis amplis ovatis ovalibusque cuspidato-acuminatis basi in petiolum subito angustatis eximie trinervatis subeveniis; cymis plurifloribus pedunculatis ex axillis superioribus, floribus subglobosis in pedicellis filiformibus pendulis.
