MATERILAS FOR A FLORA OF FORMOSA. Pa | 
Has. Bidritsu: Rokujid-taisan, ad 8000 ped. alt., leg. T. 
Kawakami et U. Mort. 
Near f. philippinensis Murr. et Rotre; but differs from it by 
the much smaller flowers and more rounded leaves. 
Ranunculus sp. 
Has. in Monte Morrison, ad 10000 ped. alt., leg. T. Kawakami 
et U. Mori, 1906, Oct. 
OssERv. Apparently perennial with long fibrous roots. Stem 
slender hirsute, branchless, with a solitary flower. Radical leaves 
long petiolate, petioles 6 cm. long, slender, nearly glabrous or 
thinly hairy, blades rounded in outline, 3-5-lobed towards the 
apex, somewhat thick nearly glabrous or hirsute. Cauline 
leaves 1 at the middle portion of the stem, subsessile, deeply 3- 
lobed, lobes lanceolate, obtuse or acute, hirsute. No flowers ; 
indeterminable. There is something like this at Kew, labelled 
Ranunculus philippinensis Merr. et Rotre. Without examining its 
flowers, it is difficult to say whether our plant is identical with 
the Philippine plant or not.
