Nom. Jap. Yakushima-sumire (nov.).

This species comes near Viola Tashiroi Makino of Yaej^ama 

 Archipelago, from which it differs by the smaller size, invariably 

 deltoid leaves, and slender and loosely articulated rhizome. 

 I have named this in memory of Mr. Kakunojo Iwagawa, who 

 was in the botanical excursion with me to the Island in Sep- 

 tember 1909. (To be continued.)
