These specimens are undoubtedly Cardamine Regeliana Miq., which is widely 

 distributed in eastern Asia, from the neighborhood of Behring's Straits through 

 Japan, Korea, China, the Philippines, and the Malay Archipelago. 



Chinese examples have been referred as subspecies fiexuosa to Cardamine 

 hir-suta Linn., but the tnle C. hirsuta of Linnjeus does not appear to reach eastern 

 Asia. The plant intended as subspecies ftcxiiom is presumably C .sj/lratica Link, 

 to which the type of Miquel's species is no doubt very close, but it seems 

 advisaiile to follow .Mi(inel in keeping C. Regeliana, for the present at least, 

 separate. Regel, wlio Inid not seen specimens of the North American C. angulata 

 Hook., referred Kamtsciiatkan specimens of C. Regeliana to the North American 

 species, but erroneously. By JMaximowicz it appears to have been distributed as 

 C. .sglvatica var. kniiiHchuticu and there seems little doubt that the forms placed 

 at St. Petersburg vuider this name, from Japan, etc., are referred correctly to 

 the same species as the small form from Kamtschatka, although the latter is of 

 dwarf habit and depauperated. Jf tlic six-anthered form with large pinna» to 

 the leaves, from southern Eurojje, be regarded as embracing C. Regeliana, then 

 the specific name would be C. sglvatica. for although Hudson's C. fle.rnosa has 

 priority, it .seems very (juestionable if the ]>lant he had in view was true <'. sgl-
