Gossypium barbadense L*
Collected I S .G .Stephens , May 22 1963
Arborescent type growing in taro patch
bordering Manoa Stream, Univ. Hawaii
Caucus, Honolulu.
These or related forms more or less cormnon
as roadside plants or "commensals* ( dooryard
types ) in Oahu, Kauai, Molokai, Lanai,
Hawaii and probably the other larger islands
of the Hawaiian Group*
Escapes from early plantings of barbadense -
type cottons ( "Caravonica11, Sea Island,
Egyptian ) and therefore probably of
mixed racial ancestry. The relatively
short petal of this specimen, suggests
Sea Island parentage* the well developed
staminal column, Egyptian or "Caravonica*
ancestry*
