The Japanese plant, collected by Oldham and referred to this 

 species by Franchet and Savatier (Enum. PI. Jap. i. p. 222), is 

 certainly different, though correctly identified with Calimeris 

 ciliata, A. Gray, which is the same as C. ciliosa, Turcz. We 

 have followed Bentham in reducing this to Aster altaicus, but 

 we are not quite satisfied that it is that species.
