Drosera rolundifolia Lour. Fl. Cochinch. p. 232, non Linn. 



Perennial. Leaves rosulate (the tuft about 3 cm, across), spreading, 

 obovato-orbicular, shortly cuneate to a not long petiole, fringed with long 

 glandular hairs and pilose with shorter glandular hairs above, thinly 

 puberulent beneath, 6-7 mm. across, 10-14 mm. long including the petiole ; 

 petiole about as long as the blade, fringed with scarious pilose hairs at the 

 base. Scapes 1-3, erect, slender, glabrous, about 10 cm. long including 

 the raceme. Raceme shorter than the scape, secundly several-flowered ; 

 rachis glabrous ; bracts minute, linear, minutely papillose, pauci-fimbriate at 

 the base. Flower about 6 mm. long, pedicellate, white ; pedicel shorter 

 than the flower, glabrous. Calyx deeply 5-parted, sparsely minutely papil- 

 lose, 4 mm. long ; segments erect-patent, oblong,, rounded-obtuse. Petals 

 5, longer than the calyx, obovato-cuneate, attenuated into an unguis below. 

 Stamens 5, shorter than the calyx ; filament subulato-filiform. Ovary 

 globose, 1-celled, with 5 placentas, many-ovuled ; styles 5, undivided, long,

Nom. Jap. Kurumaba-ynosengoJce (nov.). 



Hob. Formosa : Near Daihoku {GMydkichi Yoshihara ! no. 143, April 

 1902). 



So far as I know, this species has been found nowhere in Japan, 

 except in Formosa; while D. spathulate Labill = D. Loureirii Hook, et 

 Arn. (Jap. Ko-mosengoke) are frequently met with. According to Forbes 

 and Hemsley, Carpenter collected it in Amami Oshima, but we have no 

 specimen of it from there.
