These Kauai specimens are certainly distinct from G. sand-
wicense. The leaves are large, usually elliptical, and slightly
notched at each end, or the younger ones obovate. They are
very scabrous and papillose above, thickly pubescent beneath,
«specially along the veins, with appressed, curved, yellow
hairs. Collected on the edge of the plateau above Waimea,
Kauai. Knudsen’s and Wawra’s specimens, which are Hille-
brand’s type of variety tomentosu, came from the plateau of
Halemanu, on the opposite side of the Waimea river.
October 15 (2878).
