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.
