It is very closely allied to the North-American (occidental) Pliyllodoce 

 empetriforrnis D. Don ( = 3Ienziesia, emperiformis Swartz= Br yanthus em- 

 petrifw-mis A. Gray). This species belongs to the section Parabryanlhus, and 

 thus the old world, not only Japan, added a new section to Ericaceae.
