Holosteum cordatum L. Sp. PI..88. 1753.
On the ridge west of the Hanapepe river, at an elevation of
3500 feet, and in the depths of the forest, I found a vigorous
growth of this plant. I saw it at this station only, and how it
got there, in a place frequented only by Wild cattle, is a mys-
tery. Introduced it must be, for it is not recorded in Hille-
brand’s Flora, and if it were native, -vfrould have a wider range
on the island.
July 29 (2636); original locality, “in Jamaica, Surinama.”
