Delissea subcordata Gaud. var. obtusifolia: foliis quam in praecedenti multo amplioribus, rotundatis.
Oahu, (aus Hillebrands Herbar) 2355.

Delissea angustifolia Presl. Mann l. c. 179. Calycis lobi ciliati. Pedunculi inferiores supraaxillares. Oahu, Kaalagebirge 2225, 2287a.

Unsere Pflanzen sind ohne Blüte und Frucht, und haben sehr grosse einfach spitze Blätter; durch die eigenthümliche Behaarung der letzteren erweisen sie sich als zu D. acuminata gehörig; 1793 bildet den Uebergang von ihnen zur typischen Form. Our plants had neither flower nor fruit. They have large, entire, pointed leaves; by the peculiar hairs they belong to D. acuminata; specimen #1793 forms the transition between these and the typical form.

Delissea clermontioides Gaud. Bot. voy. Bon. t. 47
Kauai, am Waialeale und Pohakupili; 2043, 2198.

Die Pflanzen (auch die unverletzten) sind meist mit weisser kräftiger, zu zähen Borken geronnener Masse (Milchsaft) überzogen, so dass es schwer wird, sie zu trocknen. The plants' stem (injured or not) are coated with a white, strong, sticky congealed latex which is difficult to dry.

Delissea undulata (?) Gaud. Bot. voy. Freyc. 457.

var. serrulata

Glaberrima folia 9 poll. longa, minute serrulata, nonnisi ad nervi med. latera hirtella; bacca globosa; seminum texta laevis. Leaves, 9 inches long, minutely serrulate, glabrous except for hirtellous along the midrib; berry globose; seed texture smooth.
Maui, Waihee 1943. Maui, Waihee 143.
Scheint doch nur eine Varietät von D. undulata (bacca ovoidea v. Mann l. c. 180). Leider fehlen an unseren Pflanzen die Blüten. Probably only a variety of D. undulata (ovoid berry cf. Mann l. c. 180). Unfortunately, missing the flowers on our plants.

Ich möchte fast glauben, dass es diese Pflanze war, welche Gaudichaud in Freyc. Voy. t. 74 abgebildet hat. Bezüglich dieser Abbildung herrscht einige Unklarheit. Erstens heisst die Pflanze auf der Tafel Rollandia montana, im Text R. lanceolata; Mann citirt diese Tafel nirgends, Gray unter Delissea (Rollandia) montana; Gray stosst sich dabei an dem Ausdruck in Gaud. Text: foliis magnis, er meint die oberen Blätter wären nur verkleinert gezeichnet, und stellt diese Pflanze zu Delissea lanceolata var. grandifolia. Auch Mann citirt Delissea lanceolata Gray = Rollandia lanceolata var. grandifolia DC. und Rollandia Delesertiana Gaud, als Synonyma der Rollandia lanceolata (Gaud. Mann 1. c. 177), versteht aber unter Rollandia lanceolata eine himmelweit verschiedene Pflanze, die mit der in Gaud. Voy. Freyc. Taf. 74 gar nichts gemein hat, dagegen (im Habitus) von R. Delessertiana (Gaud. 1. c. t. 75) vollkommen mit den zu Rollandia gezählten Arten übereinstimmt. This appears close to the plant in Gaudichaud's Freyc. Voy. t. 74. There is some ambiguity, however, with regard to this figure. It was called Rollandia montana in the figure, but R. lanceolata in the text; Mann does not cite this figure; Gray cites it as Delissea (Rollandia) montana; Gray follows Gaudichaud's text thus "foliis magnis" is interpreted to mean the upper leaves were just drawn as reduced and considers Delissea lanceolata var. grandifolia a synonym. But Mann cites both Delissea lanceolata Gray = Rollandia lanceolata var. grandifolia DC. as well as Rollandia Delesertiana Gaud. as synonyms of Rollandia lanceolata (Gaud. Mann 1 c. 177), yet he treats Rollandia lanceolata as a completely different plant from that in Gaud. Voy. Freyc. Pl. 74, with which is has nothing in common. On the other hand (in habit) R. Delessertiana Gaudichaud's l. c. t. 75 matches perfectly on the listed traits.
Unsere Pflanze unterscheidet sich von den in Gaud. l. c. t. 74 abgebildeten durch : die gegen die Astspitze grösser werdenden ganz kahlen nur undeutlich gezähnelten stumpfen Blätter und die im Verhältniss zum pedunculus viel längeren pedicelli (dürfte also nicht mit ihr identisch sein); von der in Mann (l. c.) beschriebenen (Rollandia lanceolata) durch : die ganz kahlen Blätter, die sehr kurzen pedunculi, die kahle Staubfadensäule und Narbe. - Die Beschreibung in De Candolle stand mir nicht zu Gebote. Our plant differs from that in Gaud. l. c. t. 74 by: the leaves are much larger, glabrous, minutely denticulate, truncated arranged at the end of branches; peduncles are much longer than the pedicels (i.e. not not identical); Differing from Mann's (l.c.) description (of Rollandia lanceolata), glabrous leaves, short peduncles, glabrous staminal column and stigma. — De Candolle's description was not available to me.
Unsere Pflanze ist, wie ich glaube, eine echte Delissea und hat ihren nächsten Verwandten in D. clermontioides, die auch im Habitus so ziemlich ähnlich, sich von ihr hauptsächlich durch die sehr kleinen spitzen Kelchzähne unterscheidet I think our plant is a true Delissea and its closest relative is D. clermontioides which though similar in habit, differs in the very small acute calyx teeth.

Als palmenartiger Baum sollte dieses Pracht gewächs bei Cyanea stehen; Hillebrand nannte es auch Cyanea superba (Gray); für Cyanea fehlen ihr aber die grossen (zur Charakteristik der Gattung gehörigen) Kelchlappen. - Ferner Chamisso, dessen Beschreibungen sich überall durch eine meisterhafte Präcision auszeichnen, sagt in der Linnaea VIII, 223 : Lobelia superba - Pedúnculo foliis longioribus, und bracteis (pedunc.) 1-1 1/2 pollicaribus; - und endlich De Candolle im Prodr. VII.. 341.: Capitula demptis corollis magnitudine pugni. - Von alledem ist unsere Pflanze weit entfernt, dagegen stimmt sie im Blütenbau mit der früher beschriebenen Art (D. Waihiae) in hohem Grade überein und gehört mit dieser zur Gruppe Clermontioides. - Ich nannte sie D. Regina, weil sie als die schönste der Lobelien - die Königin der (haw.) Pflanzen ist. This superb, greenhouse, palm-like tree should stand with Cyanea; Hillebrand considered it a Cyanea (Gray); In all aspects, except missing large calyx lobes (characteristic of the genus) this is a Cyanea. — Furthermore, Chamisso whose descriptions are distinguished by their masterful precision, says in Linnaea VIII, 223: Lobelia superba — peduncle the length of the leaves, and bracts 1-1 1/2 inches; — and finally, De Candolle in Prodr. VIII. 341.: flower heads without the corolla are the size of a fist. In all of this, our plant agrees; on the other hand, the flower structure along with the preceding (D. Waihiae) are highly consistent and belong to the group Clermontioides. — I named it D. Regina because I consider it the most beautiful of lobeliads — the queen of the (Hawaiian) plants.

Ich sah nur Fruchtexemplare. Ist wohl sehr nahe verwandt mit D. undulata, zeichnet sich aber durch derbe viel schmälere Blätter und durch sehr lange pedunculi - die immer genau die Länge des Blattstyles besitzen, aus ; eben so nahe kommt sie der D. angustifolia besonders deren var. glabra; möglicher Weise sind alle drei sammt den früher beschriebenen (?) nur Formen einer stark variirenden Species. I have seen fruiting specimens. It is probably very closely related to D. undulata, but is characterized by coarse, narrower leaves and very long peduncles — exactly the same length as the petiole; Also close to D. angustifolia, especially in glabra variety, possibly all three, together with the preceding (?) form varieties of a species.

Die Blütenstiele sind eigentlich abortirte Aeste, wie aus den kleinen rudimentären Blättern ersichtlich ist. - Von D. rhitidosperma unterschieden durch den Blütenstand, die längeren pedunculi, die grösseren ganzrandigen Blätter und vorzüglich durch die glatten Samen. Bedingt ist die Verwandtschaft durch die kleinen Kelchzähne; dem Habitus nach entspricht sie mehr der D. ambigua und den der letzteren verwandten Arten, die aber alle breite und grosse Kelchlappen besitzen. The flower stems are actually aborted branches, as small rudimentary leaves are visible. — Distinguished from D. rhytidosperma by the inflorescence, the longer peduncles, the larger entire leaves and especially by the smooth seeds. Though the relationships are defined by the small calyx teeth; the habit corresponds more to D. ambigua and its related species, but all have broad and large calyx lobes.

Ich fand neue Fruchtexemplare, leider ging mir auch von diesen der grösste Theil durch einen unglücklichen Zufall verloren. - Es ist jedenfalls eine der merkwürdigssten Formen unter den Lobeliaceen. Einblütige sehr lange fadendünne pedunculi finden sich bei keiner wieder. Nachdem die Beere abgefallen, schält sich die Rinde von den Blütenstielen und diese bleiben dann als lange borstenförmige steife Fäden zwischen den Blättern. - Ich stelle diese Pflanze vorläufig zu Delissea wegen der breit verkehrteiförmigen Beeren, und weil die Blätter mit vielen der zu Delissea gehörigen Arten grosse Aehnlichkeit haben. I found new specimens in fruit, unfortunately most were lost in an accident. — It is certainly one of the strangest amongst the Lobeliads. There are no others that are uniflorous with a long thread-thin peduncle. After the berry drops, the bark peels off the flower stems and leaves behind long stiff bristle-like filaments. — I put this plant provisionally in Delissea because of the the wide, inverted shape of the berry and because the largeness of the leaves is similar similar to other Delissea.

Nach Mann wären die Blätter "longiuscule petiolata". Gaudichaud zeichnet (sehr verkleinerte und) kurz gestielte Blätter wie sich solche auch an unserer Pflanze finden, und sehr lange Pedunculi; ferner sind die Blätter an den vorliegenden Exemplaren (2238) unterseits kurz rauhhaarig, im übrigen stimmt unsere Pflanze mit der citirten Beschreibung und Abbildung und mit der früher citirten Art (1767) vollkommen überein. According to Mann the leaves are "longiuscule petiolata". Gaudichaud distinguished the (very reduced and) short stalked leaves similar to those found in our plant, with very long peduncles; further, the undersides of the leaves of our specimen (2238) have short, rough hairs. Otherwise, this plant and the prior (1767) are in complete agreement with the description and picture.
Bei allen von mir untersuchten Rollandien ist die Narbe vor der Blütenentfaltung behaart, wenn auch nicht bärtig wie die untern Antheren, später, besonders wenn sich die Narbenlappen stark nach rückwärts rollen, wird die Behaarung undeutlich. In all the Rollandia that I have examined, the stigma is hairy prior to anthesis, though not as bearded as the anthers. Later, especially if the stigma lobes roll backwards, the hairs become dull.

Aus Hillebrands Herbar 2285. From Hillebrand's Herbarium 2285.
Nach unserer Eintheilung der Typus einer Rollandia; von den anderen R. durch den fast ungeteilten Kelch verschieden. Leider ist das aus dem Herbar Hillebrands stammende Exemplar etwas unvollständig. In our classification, this is a Rollandia; it is different from the other Rollandia by the almost undivided calyx. Unfortunately, the specimen in Hillebrand's herbarium is somewhat incomplete.

Der R. lanceolata sehr ähnlich, doch durch die nackte Staubfadensäule und die behaarte Narbe verschieden. R. lanceolata Gaud. : columna staminea antherisque hirsutis ; ich fand bis jetzt keine einzige (haw.) Lobeliarea mit haariger Staubfadensäule. Very similar to R. lanceolata, but different in the glabrous staminal column and the hairy stigma. R. lanceolata Gaud. : columna staminea antherisque hirsutis (n.b. This seems to actually be a quote from Mann, 1868 not Gaudichaud.); I have found no (Hawaiian) lobeliads with a hairy staminal column.

Durch die sehr langen krautigen fast glatten pedunculi vor allen ausgezeichnet. - Die Beeren haben mehr die Ei - als die Keulenform, daher vielleicht zu Delissea gehörig, doch hat diese Pflanze viel Aehnlichkeit mit der früher beschriebenen alle Kennzeichen einer Rollandia besitzenden Art. - Durch die eigentümliche Bekleidung der Blätter dürfte R. scabra vorläufig von den anderen Rollandien zu unterscheiden sein. Distinguished by long, herbaceous, nearly glabrous peduncles. — The berries are egg to cone-shaped, which suggests Delissia, but this plant has all the hallmarks described for Rollandia. — By the peculiar indumentum of the leaves, this could provisionally be distinguished from R. scabra and the other Rollandia.

Wegen der sehr langen Kelchzipfel zu Cyanea gestellt; seinen nächsten Verwandten hat aber diese Art in Delissea Manii Brigh. (Mann. l. c. 182.) Zwar gehört D. Manii zu den kleinblättrigen Lobeliaceen, nichts desto weniger scheint es nicht ungerechtfertigt, sie zu den Cyaneen zu zählen. Das habituelle Aussehen unserer Art kommt jenen der D. fissa sehr nahe. Placed in Cyanea due to the long calyx lobes; but closely related to Delissea mannii Brigh. (Mann. l. c 182.). Although D. mannii is one of the smaller-leafed lobeliads, it does not seem unjustified to place this with the Cyanea. The appearance of our species is very close to D. fissa.

Gray vereinigt alle (ausser C. parviflora) von Gaudichaud gezeichneten Arten dieser Gattung unter C. grandifolia Gaud.; doch scheint sich C. macrocarpa von C. grandifolia (oblongifolia) wesentlich zu unterscheiden durch das eigenthümliche Venennetz der sehr kurzgestielten feingesägten Blätter, die kleinen geraden Blüten, und die nie fehlenden Bracteen an der Basis des Kelches. - In der trefflichen Zeichnung Gaudichauuds sollten nur diese Bracteen näher an den Kelch geruckt sein. - Die Narbe ist fast kahl, bei C. oblongifolia bärtig. Gray unites all (except C. parviflora) of Gaudichaud's species under C. grandifolia Gaud.; but it seems to me that C. macrocarpa is significantly different from C. grandifolia (oblongifolia) in its peculiar venous network, the very short-petioled, finely serrate leaves, the small straight flowers, and the never missing bracts at the base of the calyx. — In Gaudichaud's excellent drawing, these bracts should be pulled closer to the calyx. — Further, the stigma is nearly bare, yet it is bearded in C. oblongifolia.

Lobelia Gaudichaudii A. DC. Prodr. VII. 384; Gaud. l. c. t. 45.

Oahu am Waiolani 1639, Kauai am Pohakupili, 2044 und am Waialeale 2203. (?) Oahu on Waiolani 1639, Kauai on Pohakupili, 2044 and on Waialeale 2203. (?)
Der Hauptunterschied zwischen L. macrostachya und L. Gaudichaudii liegt wohl in den Blättern, die bei der ersteren gerippt, bei der letzteren ganz glatt sind. - Merkwürdiger Weise besitzen die sehr jungen Pflanzen (2203) derselben (?) Art dichtflaumige, unterseits weiss lakirte, kürzere (verkehrt lancettförmige) Blätter. The main difference between L. macrostachya and L. gaudichaudii probably is that the leaves are ribbed in the former and quite smooth in the latter. — Curiously, very young plants (2203) possess the same (?) kind of dense white-colored down on the lower leaf surface and shorter (oblanceolate) leaves.
