The identity of K. heterophylla and K. Sipbustoehist has already 
been mentioned. A. japonica, Korsh. is another synonym given to 
this species. At the first glance the type specimen of K. japonica 
appears to be distinct in the distant arrangement of the thinly 
pubescent leaves, because in K. heterophylla the uppermost two tiers 
of leaves are generally very much approximate, so that a whorl of 
four leaves is formed at the apex of the stem. This character, 
however, is not quite constant, and particularly in the specimens 
growing in very shady localities the leaves are distantly disposed. 
The peduncle of this species usually does not exceed the leaf. 
This species produces abundantly cleistogamous flowers particu- 
larly when Eaeee in shady spots. They may often extend up to 
= apex of the s

This species has erroneously been regarded by Edgeworth and 
Hook. f.* to be the same as Stellaria bulbosa, Wulf. The Himalayan 
plant, however, belongs to K. Maximowicziana as already pointed out 
a V¥ranchett and Maximowicz. t
