“…Gillett, however, did not recognize that the second syntype, Quayle 1243 (BISH) represented another species, subsequently described by Fosberg and Sachet (1981) as Cyrtandra thibaultii . Fosberg and Sachet pointed out that Gillett’s description of Cyrtandra jonesii was based primarily on his own collection of the then undescribed Cyrtandra thibaultii .…”

“…Fosberg and Sachet pointed out that Gillett’s description of Cyrtandra jonesii was based primarily on his own collection of the then undescribed Cyrtandra thibaultii . Here we have revised the description, based on new collections and on the description from original material provided by Fosberg and Sachet (1981).…”

“…When Fosberg and Sachet (1981) described the three varieties of Cyrtandra ootensis they stated that the species was not uniform in the variation of density of pubescence, density of toothing on leaf margins, length of petiole, in the length and openness of the inflorescence, and in the width of the corolla. They also pointed out that there was not much correlation among these variable characters, but nevertheless subdivided Cyrtandra ootensis into four varieties.…”

“…They also pointed out that there was not much correlation among these variable characters, but nevertheless subdivided Cyrtandra ootensis into four varieties. The significant amount of new collections since those available to Fosberg and Sachet since 1981 have shown that there is essentially complete intergradations among these characters and there are no clear ecologically or geographically based morphological patterns, and we have therefore placed these names into synonymy. The only pattern of variation noted is the large-leaved more glabrate plants discussed under Cyrtandra feaniana that may represent hybridization on Fatu Hiva.…”

“…He recognized the same five species as Brown and made the combination for Cyrtandroideajonesii to bring it properly into the genus as Cytrandra jonesii . Fosberg and Sachet (1981) in their revision of Marquesan Cyrtandra maintained all five species. They also added three more species revealed by then recent collecting ( Cyrtandra tahuatensis , Cyrtandra revoluta ) and by a new interpretation of collections from Nuku Hiva considered by Gillett to represent Cyrtandra jonesii (now Cyrtandra thibaultii ).…”

During the preparation of the Vascular Flora of the Marquesas Islands three new species of Cyrtandra (Gesneriaceae) have come to light and are described herein: C. uapouensis W. L. Wagner & Lorence, C. uahukaensis W. L. Wagner & Lorence, and C. kenwoodii W. L. Wagner & A. J. Wagner. Amended descriptions of the eight previously described Marquesan species are also provided as well as a key to the species. With the description of these the new species Cyrtandra in the Marquesas Islands consists of 11 species, six of which have been included in recent molecular phylogenetic studies of Pacific Cyrtandra, and appear to have arisen from one original introduction. If the other five species are members of this Marquesas clade then Cyrtandra would represent the largest lineage of Marquesas vascular plants. Psychotria is largest genus in the Marquesas Islands with 13 species, but is thought to consist of three separate lineages.
