surface, carpeliierous except only the base, at first pale then red, 

 succulent, delicious. Achenes minute, numerous, dispersed, sit- 

 ting at the bottom of deep pits of the carpophore, ovoid, oblique 

 in form, obtuse at apex, slighth^ compressed lateralh% sessile, 

 smooth and slightly nervate, glabrous, slightly carinate.dorsally, 

 li-l^ mm. long ; carpel crustaceous. 

 Nom, Jap. Shirobana-no-hebiichigo. 

 Hab. Japan, central and northern, alpine mountains. 

 This is very closely allied to Fragaria vesca Linn., but the 

 latter is to be distinguished from our present species by the 

 sessile leaflets, appressed-hairy pedicel, ovate bracteoles, obovate 

 petals, obovoid or globose carpophore, and superficial achenes. 

 The present species also differs from F. elatior Ehrh., which has 

 the sub-unisexual flowers. Except the condition of hairiness, 

 this has a resemblance to F. canadensis Michx. of North America. 

 F. vesca Linn, has hitherto not been found in Japan,

Leaflets petiolulate ; terminal tooth especially smaller and 

 shorter. Pedicel with patently villoso-subtomemtose hairs 



throughout; bracteoles trifid. Flowers hermaphrodite. Pet-

 Style angustately fusiform, cellular (of one layer) and subhya- 

 line surrounding the centre. 



Perennial, stoloniferous after anthesis ; stolons few, very

short, erect or ascending, ligneous, nigrescent, rooting below.
