Astilbe longicarpa Hayara n. n. 
A. chinensis var. longicarpa Hayata Fl. Mont. Formos. p. 86. 
As the present plant is very remarkable for its flowers which 
are all turned on the same direction on a spikelet, it should be 
raised up to a specific rank, distinct from A. chinensis. There is 
nothing like this at Kew. 
Astilbe macroflora Hayara FI. Mont. Formos. p. 86. 
The present plant is near A. rubra Hx. et T., but differs from 
it in having smaller carpels and much broader petals.
