BOTANY NOTE

Lepturus Pilgerianus versus L. Repens

Lepturus repens , not native to the major islands
of the Hawaiian Archipelago, is native to many of
the Line Islands to the West.

Because of the aspersion cast upon the specific
status of Lepturus pilgerianus *Hansen & Potztal
by *-<Fosberg, who admits unfamiliarity with the
plant he would relegate to synonymy under some
trivial taxan of L_;_ repens (Forst. f.) R. Br., we
wish to repeat a few observations that may have
escaped readers of our Newsletter. The type (0.
Degener 21,291) of the former was collected by
Degener & Hatheway on Canton Island, South Pacific,
July 14, 1950. It was "Bestimmt als L^ repens
(Forst. f.) R. Br . , jedoch mit der Bemerkung von
Herrn Dr. Degener versehen, dass es sich nicht um
L. repens handeln kann.)" The species was again
studied in the field on Canton by 0. Degener in
April-May 1951, and by 0. Degener & I. Degener
(nee Hansen) in February-March 1958.

L, pilgerianus is an annual, as mentioned in
the original description; while L^ repens , and all
remaining species thus far known, appear to be
perennials. Though the original description of
L , pilgerianus based on herbarium specimens is
sufficient to distinguish it from other species,
both Degeners in 1958 enjoyed observing the two
native Canton species growing practically side by
side. Neither are truly repent. Though both do
bear adventitious roots at the basal nodes, the
plants would be considered "bunch grasses" in the
vernacular. L^ pilgerianus can be distinguished at
a distance from L^ repens by being smaller, more
open in growth, and not as dark green. Close
inspection in the field shows that L^ pilgerianus
lacks old, dead culms and leaves so conspicuous in
L. repens; is red-violet below; has smaller, more
open leaves rather than longer ones enclosed in erecc
fascicles; and inflorescences longer exserted . It
shows less ragged insect depredations and mealy bug
infestations apparently because as an annual it is
not exposed for as long a time to such injuries as
is a perennial. The former flowers a bit earlier
than the latter, making hybridization not impossible
but very, very rare.

EVENTS

Hawaii Environmental Policy Act

The Society had considerable input to the
development of the report, A Plan for Hawaii's
Environment, November 6, 1973, prepared by the
Temporary Commission for Environmental Planning.

This report is available from the Office of Environ-
mental Quality Control. It is expected that the next
legislative session will be heavily involved with
the recommendations made in the report.

The report of the Scientific Committee on Forestry,
submitted by Dr. D. A. N. Cromer, (Chairman, Australia)
to the Second Inter-Congress at Guam, in May 1973,
contains the following summary:

Forests comprise an important component of all ten
countries contributing to the report. The situation
varies, however, from a condition of devastation in
southern Korea, through a regime of log exportation in
the Philippines, to a highly satisfactory position in
British Columbia.

It is significant that in all cases the necessity
for the reservation and preservation of representative
ecological types and natural areas has been recognised,
and in most instances dedication is already advanced.

Few examples of forest tree species in danger of
extinction or reaching low levels of germ plasm have
been notified.

Nevertheless, the position appears to be much
worse in the countries and smaller islands not covered in
this report. Attention is drawn to the report of the
sub-committee on Floristics and Biogeography which
appeared under the title "Urgent Exploration Needs -
Pacific Floras" by Professor E. J. H. Corner in the
P. S. A. Information Bulletin Vol. 24, Nos. 3 and 4,

August 1972.

It is suggested that the deficiencies pointed out
in the report, the need for quick action in several
localities, and support for botanical and ecological
expeditions, etc., coul 1 well form the basis of a
scientific pi gramme for the Pacific Science Association
through the co-operation of several of the existing
Scientific Committees, such as Botany, Conservation,

Pacific Island Ecosystems, Forestry and others.

Paul Ae 1 len-Me ise 1

Paul Ae llen-Meise 1 died at the age of 77 on August 20,
1973. Dr. and Mrs. Ae llen-Meisel established a botanical
trust at Mittlere Strasse 139, Basel, Switzerland, many
years ago. Among the specimens housed there are many
critical Hawaiian ones obtained by gift and purchase.

Letter from Dr. 0. Degener

Mrs. Degener and I thought some of the readers of
our Newsletter may be interested in the following:

J. F. Rock Ephemera
Otto & Isa Degener

Vitally interested in the life and especially the
Hawaiian activities of our late Austrian friend
Dr. Josepf F „ *Rock, af fectionally called "Pohaku" by his
students who should have correctly nicknamed him "Kihoi"
instead, we began to collect material for a two-page
biography for our Flora Hawaiiensis . In our search we
received numerous leads of which we believe the following
from a July 8, 1970 letter written by George H. M.

Lawrence, former Director of the Hunt Botanical Library,
Carnegie-Mellen University, Pittsburgh, Pa., should be
on record:

Hawaiian Botanical Society Newsletter - Page 32

December 1973

"Dear Otto:

Your note of 19 June, with its parcel of goodies
(old botanical correspondence and FI Haw., drawings),
arrived today. For my part, I have just returned
from five weeks working in Europe. Our paths have
crossed numerous times in the years before and follow-
ing the war, and again at a pension we shared outside
London in the 1950's. After his death I contacted
his nephew in Vienna and purchased all of the material
that Rock had not specifically bequeathed elsewhere.
Unfortunately, there is nothing in the collection
prior to 1930 (the period that in many ways was
the richest). There are a great many family letters,
unidentified photographs, passports from the time he
first came to Hawaii until the last, and ephemera.

It is a sizeable collection. The letters, for the
most part, are in German. Until it has been cata-
logued it can not be made available to scholars,
except as it is consulted here on our premises. I
agree with you that he was a wonderful raconteur,
and I have often wondered if anyone in Hawaii had
the foresight to tape some of his autobiographical
accounts . "

Aloha,

/si Otto Degener

one would have to examine the function of each of the
organizations before one could level criticism.

The Nominations Committee (Manhoff, Montgomery and
Gay) presented the following slate of officers for 1974:

President :
Vice-president:
Secretary :
Treasurer :
Board of Director's:

Dr. William Theobald
Dr. Derral Herbst
Mrs. Jean Maka
Mr. Paul Yamanaka
Dr. Charles Lamoureux
and Mr. Ted Green

A round of applause was given Mrs. Ercell Woolford,
the outgoing treasurer who is retiring to Missouri with
her husband .

NEW BUSINESS: Milton Manhoff presented a motion

that the Board of Directors of the Society be increased
to 7 members and officers serving rotating terms, two
3-year members to be elected each year. He suggested
this as a means of maintaining continuity of people in
the Executive Board. In answer to a question passed by
Dr. Palmer, the President stated that he had found no
problems with the present arrangement. Dr. Sagawa added
that it would be hard to get that many candidates. A
motion by Dr. Palmer that this matter be referred to the
Executive Board passed.

New Officers

On the back page of this Newsletter are listed
the Officers elected at the December meeting.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting, 5 November 1973

OLD BUSINESS: It was announced that 50 endemic

trees would be planted on the morning of 17 November on
the front lawn near Hale Kuahiwi on the University of
Hawaii campus. This had met with the approval of the
East-West Center which was also to provide the refresh-
ments. Some of the species to be planted were Hib iscus
waimeae , ohai (Sesbania tomentosa) , wiliwili (Erythr ina
sandwicensis) , koa (Acacia koa) , kauila (Colubr ina
oppositifolia) , and 'aulu (Sapindus oahuensis) . The
University was to supply the shovels but volunteers were
needed for the planting and to supply the compost. The
plants were to be supplied by the Lyon Arboretum.

Dr. Lamoureux mentioned that a similar plan had been
stymied by the University a decade ago.

The Executive Board decided to increase the life
membership to $100 for a single membership and to $150
for a couple .

The meeting was brought to order by the president,
Ted Green at 7:35 PM. The minutes of the previous
regular meeting were read and approved. The treas-
urer's report submitted for November showed balances
of $11,699.20 in the Neal Fund, $455.11 in checking,
and $120. 64 in savings accounts, respectively. There
were 41 members and 25 guests in attendance.

Correspondence was read from: 1) Flora Pacifica
requesting financial support for next year's show;

2) a request for nominees to serve on the Hawaii
Water Resources Regional Commission; 3) from the
University of Hawaii announcing a symposium on diver-
sified agriculture; and 4) a news release from the
American Association of Nurserymen.

Reporting for the Agriculture Advisory Committee,
Ron Hurov presented his findings from a survey he made
of the labeling of plants at 19 of the botanic
gardens and arboreta throughout the State. He said
that the care was variable. Most poor labeling was
a result of financial straits. He found that the
Honolulu Zoo and the Pacific Tropical Botanical
Gardens were the best kept and could serve as models
for the others. He was to publish a list of his
survey in the Newsletter. Dr. Sagawa pointed out that

Dr. Theobald introduced the speaker, Dr. Charles
Lamoureux, Professor of Botany, University of Hawaii who
gave an illustrated presentation on "A Botanical Journey
through Indonesia”.

A plant exchange then followed.

Hostesses for the evening were Rosa Kirsch and
Marion Mapes.

The meeting adjourned at 9:30 PM.

Secretary

Annual Report of the Secretary for 1973

The Society maintained its involvement especially
in the areas of conservation and agriculture. In conser-
vation matters we provided input to the Governor's
Environmental Council for them to draft an "Environmental
Policy Act", drawing upon a wide range of community
organizations and individuals. We also supported the
establishment of the proposed Wilderness Area designation
for the North West Hawaiian Islands Wildlife Refuge and
the Ahihi Bay-Cape Kinau State Natural Area Reserve on

East Maui. The City of Honolulu incorporated
virtually all of the Society's stipulations regarding
the proposed Ala Moana Drainage Canal.

Oct. 1 - "Revegetation Problems of Kahoolawe"
by Mr. Russell K. LeBarron, Retired
Assistant State Forester, Hawaii

In agricultural matters we provided testimony
and constructive criticism on the new Plant Quaran-
tine Act and on the proposed Plant Quarantine Regula-
tions. Our input measurably helped to strengthen
many provisions in the former. The State Department
of Agriculture solicited our comment in both cases.

We testified on legislation concerning long-term
leases for small farmers in order to enable them to
secure better loan arrangements. This legislation
passed. Diversified agriculture also commanded
considerable attention. Ron Hurov investigated the
labeling of plants of the State's various private and
public botanic gardens and arboreta. Opposition, led
by Bea Krauss, to the demolition of Gilmore Hall for
a new art building was unsuccessful.

There were two summer forays to Kahana Valley
and Palehua-Palikea Trails led by Dr. Theobald and
John Obata respectively. Also, a special summer
field trip was held on 12 August by Dr. Warner to the
Plant Science Instructional Arboretum at the Waimanalo
Field Station.

Nov. 5 - "A Botanical Journey through Indonesia"
by Dr. Charles H. Lamoureux, Professor
of Botany, University of Hawaii

Dec. 3 - "Some Environmental Problems" by

Mr. Ted Green, Landscape Architect,
Fujiwara - Green Joint Ventures,
Honolulu, and retiring president of
the Hawaiian Botanical Society.

The membership continued to decline and as of
December 1, 1973 stood at 265, which was 8 less than at
the same date last year.
