DisTRiB. In Japan ; very common in the vallej^'s of the lowland 

 hills. The distribution of the genus Mitclla is rather limited, being 

 found only in North America, Manchuria, East Siberia, Japan and 

 Formosa. 



The Morrison specimens are of a form having rather more 

 divaricate and fimbriate petals and less tuberculate seeds. A more 

 diverged form of tliis species was found in Japan by Mr. T. Making 

 who described it in Tokyo Bot. Mag. XIX. p. 17 as a new variety 

 intecjripetala. Another species M. acerina Making was found also 

 in Japan.
