The flowers of this species are most decorative in Japanese 

 Aconitum, therefore this plant is commonly cultivated in Japa- 

 nese gardens and its flowers make an important parts of orna- 

 mental flowers in autumn. 



Many Japanese plants were misunderstood to be the native 

 of China or Corea, and A. chinense is one which is in the 

 same fate. 



By Mr. T. Makino it grows wildly in M't. Ibuki. M't 

 Ibuki v^as formerly the botanical resorts of our predecessors, 

 and a great number of Japanese gardening plants were brought 

 back from there. The native place of A. chinense is yet obscure, 

 therefore it will be better to make it a Japanese plant.
