A List of Plants collected in Hang-chou, 

 Cheh-kiang, by K. Honda. 



by 

 S. Matsuda. 



Mr. K. Honda^^^ made a collection of plants in Hang-chou, 

 Cheh-kiang, where he stayed for some years, and was engaged 

 in the education of the native. The plants were collected in 

 1909-1910, as the labels show, and this collection was placed 

 in my disposal through the kindness of Mr. K. Nemoto.^^^ 

 Shortly before this time, two other gentlemen K. Mori'^^ and 

 K. Sudzuki'^^ also collected plants in Ilang-chou, and I was 

 fortunate to examine them. Here, I must not forget to mention 

 that the first Japanese who botanized there w^as Mr. C. 

 Owatari ;^^* but unfortunately I have not seen his collection 

 except a very few specimens. 



So far as I know, Honda's collection is perfect comparatively^, 

 and the present hst is the result of the examination of this 

 material. The list contains about 460 species, of which a few 

 are new to the flora of China, and for a few others I had to 

 propose new names. The following are the names of these two 

 kinds of plants : Hex Buerger! Miq. ; Lonicera japonica Thunb., 

 f. macrantha f. n. ; Crepis japonica Benth., f. foliosa f. n. ; 

 Lactuca Matsumurse Makino ; Lampsana parviEora A. Gr. ; 

 Vaccinium Donianum Wight, var. hangchouense n. v. ; Dyso- 

 phylla Yatabeana Makino ; Mosla hangchoensis n. sp. ; Poly- 

 gonum virginicum L., f. glahratum f. n. ; Boehmeria bolosericea 

 Bl. ; and Ischxmum Hondae. n. sp.
