Nubibus madida, pluviis irrigua montium O-Wahensium
regio sylvatica insignes gignit Lobeliaceas subarborescentes,
sylvestres, grandifloras, pallidifloras, copiosissimo
squatentes lacte. Octo celeberrimus Gaudichaud descripsit
adumbravitque ad genera quatuor nova relatas. Freycinet.
Voy. Botan. p. 97-8. et 457-9. t. 71-8. Septem

Wet clouds, rain, rivers and mountains - the wooded regions of Oahu have produced a notable number of Lobeliaceae which are treelets of the forest with large, pale-colored flowers and produce large amounts of milky sap. Gaudichaud described and illustrated eight species and four new genera. Freycinet. Voy. Botan. p. 97-8. et 457-9. t. 71-8. Seven more have now been collected from the wet woodlands of Oahu. Two of these were described by Gaudichaud; five were undescribed. Of the two Guadichaud species, I am hesitantly ascribing one based on the staminal column. Thirteen species are now described, to which can be added Lobeliam arborea Forst. Under Jupiter's summer rain, we hastily collected many plant specimens, which we brought to the ship, and then quickly brought to our expedition leaders, as the specimens were poorly preserved, partially eaten by worms and insect larvae and were now inadequate for rigorous assessment of their generic characters. The importance of the staminal column in the Lobeliacearum genera was brought to light by Gaudichaud; to which we add our partially eaten specimens, if it so pleases. |

Folia cum petiolo lamina dimidio breviori pedalia, latitudine sesquipollicari; integerrima basi in petiolum subcuneato-decurrentia; tenuia sunt, tenuiter nervoso-marginata, serraturis subaequalibus apice rotundato-inflexis obtusissimis; supra obscuriora, plana; subtus, costa prominente, tenuiter penninervia tenuissimeque reticulato-venosa, parenchymate pallidiori, rete vasculoso obscuriori insigniter pellucido; pili rari parum conspicue basin laminae versus costam hinc inde a latere muniunt. Petiolus supra planus seu leviter canaliculatus, subtus convexus, basi paululum dilatatus. Pedunculi axillares, subtripollicares, inferne nudi, floribus sub anthesi saltem corymbosis, corymbo multi-(12—16)-floro. Bracteolae caducae desunt, cicatricula relicta, Pedicelli filiformes, floriferi maxime elongati pollicares. Germen semiovoideum, obtuse costatum, sesquilinea vix longius; in alabastro quinque-denticulatum, denticulis ciliolatis; sub anthesi, denticulis obliteratis, limbo calycino undulato crispo marginatum et coronatum;

defloratum subsemiglobosum , intra calycis marginem planiusculum, leviter convexum, basi stylis apiculatum, diametro subbilineari quam ipsa axis longiori; biloculare est, placentis carnosis dissepimento secundum axin affixis. Corolla longe tubulosa, sedecim circiter llneas longa, curvula, tubo basi paulo ampliori, glabra, laevis, vestigiis papillorum seu corniculorum in D. undulata Gaud. t. 78. adumbratorum nullis; fasciculis nervorum tenuiorum quinque percursa, unde leviter angulata apparet; laciniis quinque linearibus angustis acutis primum bilabiato-hians, labio inferiori breviori haud profunde trifido; laciniis dorsalibus profundius fissis longioribus; hinc dorso ad basin fisso antrorsum curvata ; demum decidua. Columna genitalium suberecta, longitudine corollae, praeter quas dicemus partes glabra. Stamina epigyna; filamenta ima basi soluta, plana, ciliata, et interiori facie pubescentia; mox integrum in tubum connata; antherae solito more connatae, superioribus longioribus tribus apice imberbi in anteriores breviores barbatas inflexis. Stylus filiformis; stigma antheras paulo superans, (provectiori aetate) plano verticali bilobum; lobis margine revolutis dorso pilosis.
O-Wahu.
Germine et calyce cum Rollandia Gaud. convenire videntur species tres mox enumerandae, caeteris magis cum Delissea congruentes. Stamina plane epigyna, filamenta ab ima basi in tubum integrum connata, minime, nec ulla parte, corollae adnatum, corolla decisa integrum superstitem. Corolla dorso fissilis, demum decidua; ;tubus aequalis nec gibbosus, arcuatus; limbus laciniis linearibus quinque (subaequalibus? subbilabiato-?) hians. Antherae supradescriptae specici. Stigma idem, juniori statu vix bifidum, corona pilorum infra cinctum.
26. LOBELIA pinnatifida N. Ramosa; foliis oblongo-lanceolatis, utrinque acutis, in petiolum brevem decurrentibus,
page 221

Quae supra de genitalibus dicta, in hac praesertim specie observata sunt, in sequentium speciminibus mancis recognita. Folia ramea e minoribus cum petiolo sesquipollicari subpedalis, lamina sesquipollicem lata, pinnis insuper pollicaribus utrinsecus aucta. Pinnae antrorsum oblique versae, maxime evolutae paucae, utrinsccus 1-3; rudimenta plurium dentes caeteris magis evoluti; pinnae dentes et denticuli venis venulisque excurrentibus mucronulata. Venae venulaeque latiores, reteque vasculosum laxius atque crassius quam in superiori species fuscescunt, rete tenuiori etiam pellucido. Cognomine sonchifoliae, nisi jam in familiarem usurpatum, salutassemus stirpem nostram. Pedicelli in pedunculo communi carnoso crasso apicem versus subconferti, bracteola squamaeformi suffulti, vix semipollice longiores. Germen quinque lineas circiter longum; laciniae calycinae tres circiter lineas longae ad basin totidem latae. Corolla duas fere pollices longa.

species, quam tameen pro diversa habuimus. Foliorum primarii dentes in lacinias protrahi facile paterentur. Folii, parenchymatis, retis vasculosi, pilorum eadem prorsus indoles. Pilii in foliis fors adultioribus rarescent, venis et venulis paulo minus addicti. Calyces magis glabrescunt, laciniis basi minus auriculato-dilatatis, apice insigniter subretuso-mucronatis. Quae asservavimus folia cum petiolo 2 1/2 -pollicari sesquipedalia, anteriori tertia circiter parte maxime dilatata tres pollices et ultra lata, hinc deorsum sensim angustata marginibus obsoletius dentatis subintegerrimis.
O-Wahu.
28. LOBELIA calycina N.
| (Caule simplicissimo?), foliis oblongo-lanceolatis utrinque acutis in petiolum brevem longe angustatis inaequaliter eroso-crenulatis, supra planis pilisque conicis brevibus raris sparsis aspersis, subtus reticulato-venosis in rete fuscescente praesertim hirtis; calyce glabro, laciniis oblongis obtusiusculis uninerviis; germine sub anthesi obconico, sub grossificatione olivaeformi, vertice lacinis calycinis erectis coronato; corolla limbo saltem hirtella; tubo antherarum circa basin et sursum in sulcis hirto. | (Stem simple?), Leaves long, narrow, oblong-lanceolate, acute at both ends, shortly petiolate, margin irregularly erose-crenulate, upper surface with short hairs grouped in sparsely spread clusters, lower surface reticulately veined, veins dark and especially hairy; calyx smooth, lobes oblong obtuse, one-nerved; buds obconical prior to anthesis, swelling to olive-shaped, crowned by the persistent calyx lobes; corolla lobes hairy, anther tube hairy near base and in furrows. |
| Folia praeter marginem crenulatum et breviorem petiolum omnino superioris speciei, sesquipedalia, tres pollices lata, petiolo pollicar; pili superioris paginae parum in conspectum veniunt, nec affinibus fors omnino desunt speciebus. Calycibus facile dignoscenda species. Laciniae tres lineas longae, dimidiam circiter lineam latae, germine quinque lineas long. Lex inflorescentiae e specimine manco non satis patet; truncus, ramulus s. pedunculus carnosus, crassitie pennae cygneae, bracteis laciniis calycinis similibus sparsis subimbricatisve instructus, comosus, cicatrisatus, Pedicelli subsemipollicares, nudi vel basin versus bracteolati. | The leaf margin crenulate and petiole short as in all the preceding species, one and a half foot long by three inches wide, petiole one inch; hairs on the upper leaf surface smaller or missing in this species and the following. The calyx is diagnostic in this species: the lobes are three lines long (6 mm) by half a line wide (1 mm), seeds are 5 lines long (10 mm). The inflorescence cannot be described due to the condition on the imperfect specimen; the trunk, branches and peduncle are fleshy, thick as a swan feather, the bract are similar to the calyx lobes, sparsely subimbricate, hairy, scarred, pedicels less than 1/2 inch, glabrous but bracteolate towards the base. |

29. LOBELIA superba N.
| Arborea, palmaeformis; caule simplicissimo stricto comam foliorum et pedunculorum extollente; foliis glabris oblong-obovatis acuminulatis in petiolum brevem angustatis undulatis denticulatis, margine reflexo basin versus subintegerrimo revoluto, costa crassa subtus prominente, venis patulis pennatis prominulis, venulis tenuiter reticulatis pellucidis; inflorescentiis corollisque tomentosis. Pedunculis folio longioribus declinatis nutantibus crebre bracteatis bracteis oblongo-ellipticis sessilibus, terminale globosum compactum bracteisque dense imbricatum capitulum florum adscendentium gerentibus; corolla insigniter curvata, dorso fissa; columna genitalium glabra corollam superante, antheris inferioribus duabus barbatis, stigmate bilobo. | Tree, palm-like; stem narrow, unbranched; leaves and peduncles erect; leaves glabrous, oblong-obovate, acuminate on short, narrow petioles, undulate-denticulate, margin reflexed towards the base, revolute later, mid-rib thick, prominent underneath, veins spreading, pennate, prominent, secondary veins thin, reticulate, pellucid; inflorescences and corollas tomentose. Peduncles the length of the leaves, drooping, terminating in a compact, globose head with dense imbricate oblong-elliptic, sessile bracts; flowers erect; corolla arched, dorsal petals split; stamens glabrous, exserted, the two lower anther bearded, stigma bilobed. |
| Speciminis larvis insectorum fere destructi flores examini rigoroso subjici non possunt. Forsan novum subgenus. Familiarum superbissima species. Arbor biorgyalis. Quae exsiccanda et asservanda delegimus folia minora cum petiolo subtripollicari 2 1/2-pedalia, semipedem lata. Pedunculi arcuatim dependentes crassitie fere digiti minoris, angulati, bracteis pollicaribus sessquipollicaribusque sparsis vestiti. Capitula florum, demptis corollis, magnitudine pugni. — Flores duos et dimidium pollices longi vel longiores, si nempe curvatam corollam rectifices. | The flowers of the specimens were nearly destroyed by insect larvae making a rigorous examination impossible. Possibly a new sub-genus. A superb species of the family. 12 feet tall. Smaller leaves were chosen for drying and pressing with petioles less than three inches long, leaves 2 1/2 feet long, 1/2 feet wide. Arched peduncles nearly the width of the little finger, angled, bracts 1 - 1 1/2 inches long with sparse hairs. Flower heads, not including the corollas, the size of a fist. — Flowers 2 1/2 inches long or longer, when straightened. |
