Has. Randaizan, leg. B. Hayatra et U. Mort, 1908, Aug. (No. 
7126). 
Near L. fenum-grecum Hance and JL. capillipes Hemsu., but 
differs from the former in having very much smaller flowers, and 
from the latter, in having much larger calyx and herbaceous leaves. 
The filaments of the present plant are connate forming a very short 
tube, the stamens are opposite the petals, and the anthers are 
opened by terminal pores facing outward, though they are, how- 
ever, originally introrse.
