Claoxylon sandwicense Müll.Arg.

Sp the hea& of the valley opposite, Gray & Robinson’s
HanaPepe valley house, island Qf Kauai, were collected speoi-,
mens -wli^ perhaps are referable to G. sandwicense, which is
described follows by Hillebrand : “A small, soft wooded
tree or shrub, 10-12 feet high, with pale, spreading branches,
the youngest shoots tomentose' but soon glabrate. Leaves
obovate-obloug) 4_7»x2-3', on petioles of 1-fe shortly acu-
minate or obtuse, creriate serrate with callous uncinate teeth,
con racted at the base, stiff membranaceous, lurid green,
sea ro-papillose but glabrate.” Minor points of difference in
my specimens are, shorter pe\>\oles, and leaves pubescent be-
neat with scattered white hairs* They are never acuminate,
but rounded, or slightly pointei at the apex. The inflores-
cence seems to be injured, as the towers are imperfect.
