I .) Elements of the Flora of the Montane Zone. 



The montane zone treated in the present paper embraces a 

 most extensive area from 3,000 ft. np to 13,000 ft. above sea level, 



including in its centre 

 Mt. Morrison, the highest 

 peak of the Japanese 

 Empire. This mountain, 

 lying a little within the 

 tropic of Cancer, attains 

 a height of 13,120 ft. It 

 presents various climatal 

 features from tropical 

 through temperate up to 

 those of cold regions, 

 and in winter snow is 

 frequently seen on the 

 summit. 



The term flora used in 

 this w^ork includes flo-
