Holotype
[BISH].
Note: The sheet containing the holotype represents a mixed collection of three different specimens. The twig in the upper left is not a Rubiaceae; the twig in the upper right is apparently from a different locality; only the twig in the lower left is the holotype. The publication indicates that there is a photo of the type at BISH, but it could not be located (RKS, 8/95). There is a photo of a sheet that Fosberg labelled "isotype," but it cannot be an isotype because it is from O`ahu, and the type was collected on Maui.
