Polygonaceae Antigonon leptopusHook. & Arnott Newislandrecord Antigonon leptopus(Mexican creeper) was previously known from disturbed areas on at least Kaua‘i, O‘ahu, L(cid:228)na(cid:143)i, Maui, and Hawai‘i (Wagner et al.,1999: 1060). It was also recently collected from Midway Atoll by M. Bruegmann and originally published in 24 BISHOPMUSEUMOCCASIONALPAPERS:No. 69, 2002 Wagner et al. (1999: 1888), but not in Bruegmann (1999: 2). On Midway, this plant is indeed sparingly naturalized on Sand Island. This collection confirms the naturalized sta- tus and represents a new island record for Midway Atoll. Material examined.MIDWAYATOLL: Sand I, sprawling out of ironwood forest into adjacent field areas near harbor, near sea level, 5 May 1999, Starr & Martz 990505-10. Coccoloba uvifera(L.) L. Newislandrecords Coccoloba uvifera(sea grape) has recently been noted to germinate and spread at least on O‘ahu (Herbst, 1998: 3; Wagner et al., 1999: 1060, 1888) and Maui (Oppenheimer & Bartlett, 2002: 11). On Midway and Hawai‘i, C. uviferais displaying the same tendencies. These collections represent new island records for Midway Atoll and Hawai‘i Island.

Rubiaceae Hedyotis corymbosa(L.) Lam. Rangeextension Hedyotis corymbosa was previously known from Kaua‘i, O‘ahu, East Maui, and in the vicinity of Hilo to Volcano, Hawai‘i, (Wagner et al., 1999: 1141, 1891; Lorence et al., 1995: 50). It is now also known from the Kona area of Hawai‘i. Material examined:HAWAI‘I: Kona, in cinder at Keauhou Kona Aston Resort, near sea level, 9 Apr 1999, Starr & Martz 000409-1. Pentas lanceolata(Forssk.) Deflers Newislandrecord Native to forest margins and scrub from Yemen to tropical East Africa (Brickell & Zuk 1996: 770); in Hawai‘i, P.lanceolata(star cluster) has recently been noted spreading at least on the H(cid:228)m(cid:228)kua coast of the Big Island (Nagata, 1995: 12; Wagner et al., 1999: 1160). On Maui, P.lanceolatavolunteers in scrub areas and steep banks from Ha(cid:143)ik(cid:252)to Makawao. These collections represent a new island record for Maui. Material examined.MAUI: E.

Newnaturalizedrecord Previously known under the misapplied name Bumelia buxifolia (sensu Neal, 1965) (Staples & Herbst, in press), large trees of Sideroxylon persimile (bully, bumelia) were apparently originally cultivated on Maui near the Mauna‘olu Campus (old Baldwin Estate) on Baldwin Avenue, where it was collected as early as 1967. Now this thorny species occurs in gulches and along roadsides from H(cid:228)li(cid:143)imaileto near P(cid:228)(cid:143)ia. There are also specimens from O‘ahu and L(cid:228)na(cid:143)i, mostly from ornamental street trees. These col- lections represent a new state record for Hawai‘i. Sideroxylon persimile is native from Mexico through Central America to northern South America (Pennington, 1990). Large trees, round-topped to 20 m tall, trunk vertically fluted, 1 m thick, bark rough (ex Fosberg 27116), sometimes armed with painful and irritating thorns (1–3 cm long), with obvious sticky white sap, and stems occasionally bearing red hairs. Leaves dark green, glossy ovate, entire (3–4 cm long). Flowers are sweetly fragrant, greenish (ex Brown 1246, sheet Records of the Hawaii Biological Survey for 2000—Part 2: Notes 25 69020b). Fruit is round to subglobose, about 1 cm, and green turning black or deep blue with maturity during June-July (ex Brown 1246, sheet 69020a). Fruits eaten by birds (ex Neal s.n.). The species has been used as a street tree in Honolulu and has been planted for reforestation. Tofocus efforts in better understanding the biology of S. persimileas a naturalized species, we include all voucher specimens examined. We hope these locality data will assist field collectors and managers in identifying the places where this tree is likely to be escaping from cultivation. Material examined:MAUI: E.
