THE SAXIFEAGES of YEZO and the KUEILE ISLANDS. 

 By H. Takeda. 



The materials used for the present paper are principally the 

 extensive collection of Hokkaido {i. e. Yezo and the Kurile Islands) 

 plants preserved in the Herbarium of Agricultural College, Tohoku 

 Imperial University, Satporo, Japan, and the Abbe Faurie's col- 

 lection preserved at Kew Herbarium. My own collection, though 

 not very rich in these regions, is also consulted. With regard to 

 Faurie's collection, Boissieu has already published an enumeration 

 of the genus, together with other plants belonging to Saxifragacece 

 in the Bulletin de I'Herbier Boissier, vol. v. (1897). He records 

 nine species of the genus Saxifraga from Japan, all but one being 

 known from the regions concerned. He included in his list 

 Saxifraga hjcoctonifolia Maxim., which has been referred to 

 another genus. In the present paper I add to his enumeration 

 three other species, one of which, based on Faurie's collection, 

 was overlooked by Boissieu. 



With regard to citation, I confine myself to some standard 

 works on the genus and certain others concerning tlie regions in 

 question. Descriptions are not given unless the plant is new or 

 noteworthy.
