Yezo, are scarious on the margin. a Franchet* states, Japanese 
specimens are mostly viscid, and I have seen no specimens from 
Japan without glandular hairs. I have been able to examine the 
specimens collected by Oldham at Nagasaki in 1862, which 
aximowiez took for C. vulgatum lusus hirsutum, Fenzl, and vane 
Williams determined as C. triviale a typicum, Will 
specimens, however, show that it is really var. glandulosum, Kick 
is quite doubefal, I doubt whether si? really examined the 
specimens to which he refers under that name. One of these 
specimens collected by Savatier at Yokosuka and taken by Franchet 
or C. glutinosum, Fries, is, according to the statements of 
Franchet and Savatier in ‘the second volume of their Enumeratiot 
said to be a glandular form of C. triviale, Link. I suspect, therefore, 
that the plants recorded as C. glutinosum or U. Pi epg ete h bey var. 
herbaceo-bracteatum, may be small specimens of C. triviale var. 
glandulosum. The petals of this Japanese species are pehenstiy a 
little shorter than the calyx, oblanceolate ri }-bilobed. The 
specimens collected by me in the neighbour of Nemuro Haye 
petals slightly exceeding the calyx in ieee, shovate-SBGAEE 4 i- 
bilobed, and often subciliate at the base. 
C. Lanthes, Williams, is, so far as I can decide from his original 
specimen, also a weak form C. triviale var. glandulosum, though 
he places the plant near C. HIS. laying stress upon the length 
of the pedicels and the direction of the capsules. The pedicel of 
C. triviale is filiform and as long as or sometimes 3-4 times as 
long as the calyx, and the capsules are usually nutant.} 
About C. glomeratum I should make some remarks upon 
Williams’ view. He refers to two specimens. The one was 
ome eee by Williams and Morrow at Shimoda and the other was 
ered by Faurie in the island of Rebunshiri. He refers the 
Shimoda specimen after Franchet and Savatier, who considered it 
to be C. viscosum in the first volume of their Enumeratio and 
afterwards in the second yolume doubted about it and have said 
fortasse ad speciei sequentis (i.e., C. vulgatum = C. triviale) 
ee glandulosam referenda.” The specimens from Rebunshiri, 
which Williams himself examined and preserved at Kew are, 
however, about 25 cm. high, eo distantly pee with 
oblong, obtuse leaves, bearing a diffuse inflorescence with young 
flowers. They very much resemble the “plant hike I collected at 
some places in Hokkaidé and propose to name C. boreale. But as 
there exists no ripe fruit, the determination is rather conjectural ; 
still so far I am quite sure that the specimens do not represent 
C. glomeratum, Thuill., so that C. jppeniitein should be excluded 
from the Flora of Japan. 
The plant believed by several botanists to be C. alpinum var. 
eee ans is in fact neither the plant of Regel nor that of 
Torrey and Sey The species is rather remotely related to
