Abstract
Dubautia syndetica G. Carr & Lorence from the Hawaiian Island of Kaua' i is described and illustrated. The new species is distinguished from congeners on the basis of its combination of uniseriate, somewhat coal escent receptacular bracts, coarsely glandular peduncles, glandular co rolla tubes, and conspicuously strigose achenes. These and other featu res suggest a possible hybrid origin from D. laxa Hooker & Arnott subs p. hirsuta (Hillebrand) G. Carr and D. raillardioides Hillebrand.
