Cyrtandra gayana A. Heller , Minnesota Bot. Stud. 1: 887. 1897.
Type information:
Lectotype
[MIN]. A.A. Heller 2495. 4 July 1895. Kaua`i: on the ridge W of the Hanapepe River [Hanapepe and Wahiawa watershed, 915 m].
Lectotypified in W. L. Wagner & R. K. Shannon. Brittonia 51: 431. 1999. Isolectotype(s)
[NY [mfc!]].
Note: Collection 2495, pro parte. Heller distributed three collections from Kaua`i under Heller 2495. The additional syntypes are: ridge W of Hanapepe River, 3000 ft., 11 July (BISH! [2]); 22 August (US!). Heller did not cite a date. Although the MIN sheet has the more general locality of "Hanapepe and Wahiawa watershed," it is assumed to be part of the same gathering as the NY sheet.

Lectotype
[BISH]. O. Selling 2869. 13 August 1938. Kaua`i: Kilohana.1220m.
Lectotypified in H. St. John. Pacific Trop. Bot. Gard. Mem. 1: 309. 1973.
Note: Additional syntypes: Kaunuohua ridge, Kaluapuhi trail, 13 Aug 1938, C. Skottsberg 2846 (coll. Mrs. J. Wichman) (GB); Alakai, between Lehua Makanoe and Kilohana, 15 Aug 1938, C. Skottsberg 3911 (GB); Kilohana, 1220 m, 13 Aug 1938, L. M. Cranwell & C. Skottsberg 2869b (GB). The selection of this lectotype by St. John obviously was a choice of the fruiting collection from among the flowering and fruiting collections cited by Skottsberg.
