et tuberosa. Cum icone, p. 824. Detailed description of 
the plant, which is Ophiopoyon japonicus, Ker. KaMPFER 
adds: Usus radicum in medicina familiaris est; tubera 
saccharo condita Sinensis xgrotis commendant.—Altera datur 
species, literatis temondo dicta, in prov. Satzuma frequens, 
quze quod radicem et tubera habeat pinguiora, priori antiferri

So moku, VI, 46:—/)y # BE PY 4 (small-leaved), 
Ophiopogon japonicus. TIbid., 44, 45:—Je #2 BE PI = 
(large-leaved), Oph. spicatus. 
Both these species—the larger, O. spicatus, and the 
smaller, O. japonicus—are recorded from China by our 
botanists, and, as we have seen, they are correctly dis- 
tinguished by the ancient Chinese authors.
