Irbas Olanaua ? , 600m.
I assume the plant has been collected in Samoa from the "Plantae samoenses". I have looked over a map from the 1900's of the Samoa islands and I have found nothing that looked like Olanaus. Anybody else to give it a shot? There were a Uliamoa in the south of Savaii island at about 200m

Maybe looking in this would help: there is a mention of P. accedens at p. 48. Anybody who can read German?
