This species is named in honour of Mr. F. C. Greatrex, who has collected it 

 for the first time, and was kind enough to furnish us with an excellent series of 

 the flowering as well as fruiting specimens.

This plant is remarkable for the complete absence of petals in both male 

 and female plants. It has been known to grow only in the vicinity of the Cape 

 Erimo, but Mr. Greatrex found it lately in the Narukagawa Valley, Nanaye, not 

 far from Hakodate.
