erect-patent, obovoid. Capsule cylindrical, scarcely curved upwards 
above, much exserted, 2!/,—3-times as long as the persistent calyx, 
11—17 mm long, membranaceous, smooth, simply 10-nerved; the mouth 
truncate. 10-dentate; the teeth circinato-revolute when dry, not revolute

Hab. Prov. Shinano: Yamato-mura in Mimami-Adzumi-gori (D. Takashima! 
Aug. 1904, July 1905) — Largest one among Japanese species of 
Cerastium. It is remarkable by having the entire (not bifid) petals. The 
flower has a resemblance to that of some species of Oxalis.

Leaves few, tufted, erect-patent, long-petiolate, deltoid, 31/,—41/, cm long, 
2*/,—3 cm wide, acute at the apex, truncato-cordate and shortly decurrent
