publication, except a few papers'' that have appeared in the Tokyo 

 Botanical Magazine. 



In the present work, it is my desire to give some complete 

 information relating to the montane zone of the island. The 

 majority of the collections upon which this work is based, were 

 made by the officers of the Government of Formosa. Some 

 materials were collected by Prof. S. Honda in 1896, and by Mr. 

 E. ToRii in 1900, both from Mt. Morrison. 



In November 1905, a botanical excursion was carried out for 

 the first time on the above mountain by Messrs. T. Kawakami, S. 

 Nagasawa and Gr. Nakahaea, and numerous specimens were sent 

 to me for determination by Mr. S. Nagasawa. In October 1906, 

 Messrs. T. Kawakami and U. Mom made another excursion to 

 the same mountain, and collected quite a number of plants. 

 Another ascent of the same peak was made b}^ Mr. G. Nakahaea 

 who had equal success. Other mountainous districts of Taito and 

 the central ranges were botanically explored by Mr. U. Moei in 

 the same year. Some parts of the hill regions of Taihoku, Taichu, 

 Tainan and Koshun have been little by little botanized for some 

 years ; but the greater part of the island remains as yet unex- 

 plored. 



All the determinations of the species have been worked out 

 by me ; but a few families with which I am not yet thoroughly 

 acquainted are almost entirely omitted in the present paper. The
