Anoectochilus sandwicensis Li^dl.. Gen. and Spec. Urch. 500.
' 1840. ;
Hillebrand credits this species as growing “in the lower for-
ests of all islands.” On Oahu it was f6u,nd growing near the
summit of Konahuanui, at 3000 feet elevation in what he desig-
nated the “middle forest zone,” or what on this island is really
the/‘ upper forest zone.” On Kauai, where it is plentiful near
the head of the Wahiawa river,-at about 3000 feet elevation, it
is certainly in the middle zone. \ It grows apparently only in
wet,- almost boggy woods, where both ground and trees'are cov-
ered with a thick mat of mosses‘and hepatics. The stems are
weak and decumbent.
