Hedyotis cookiana (Cham. & Schltdl.) Steud. f. brighamii Fosberg, Bernice P. Bishop Mus. Bull. 174: 48. 1943.
Type information:
Holotype
[BISH]. W. T. Brigham 569. 1864- 1865. Moloka`i: s.l..
Note: Mann (1867) cites Kaua`i and Moloka`i as the only localities for Kadua cookiana var. elatior, and cites only one collection, "M. & B. 569." Our interpretation of the labels is that the Moloka`i collection was by Brigham, and the Kaua`i collection was by Mann and Brigham.
