Dianella sandwicensis H. & A. Bot: Beechy, 97. 1832.
PLANTS OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
COLLECTED ON THE ISLAND OF KAUAI, ON THE RIDGE OPPOSITE
GAY & ROBINSON’S HANAPEPE VALLEY HOUSE,
By A. A. Heller, July 9, 1895.
It is altogether probable that Hooker and Arnott’s D. sandwi-
censis is distinct from the Dracaena ensifolia of Linnaeus, an In-
dian plant which one would not expect to find in the Hawaiian
'Islands. On Oahu it appears to grow only on the ground, ai^
elevations of 2000 to 3000 feet. On Kauai it waa found princi-
pally oil mossy'or decayed tree trunks, ranging from elevations
of 2500 to 4000 feet. The Index Kewensis refers it to Diane?*”
nemorosa Lamark, published in 1786, of which the earlier 1
caenci ensifolia L., published in 1767, is said to he a synonyr
May to October (2349).
