Abstract
Cyanea kuhihewa (Campanulaceae: Lobelioideae) is described from Kaua'i in the Hawaiian Islands and assigned to sect. Hirtellae. Because of i ts linear leaves, it was first identified as C. linearifolia, a member of sect. Delisseoideae presumed extinct. However, the new species dif fers by its flat or slightly revolute (vs. strongly revolute) leaf mar gins, fewer-flowered pubescent inflorescences with shorter peduncles a nd bracts longer than wide (vs. wider than long), and larger pubescent flowers.
