This comes between Corylojms spicata Sieb. et Zucc. and G. pauci- 

 flora Sieb. et Zucc, having a close resemblance to C. glahrescens Franch. 

 et Sav., and is found on mountains of the middle Japan. We had not 

 yet a favourable opportunity to see specimens in flower. I have named 

 it in memory of Mr. Suekichi Goto, Assistant in the Dendrogical Institute, 

 Agricultural College, Imperial University of Tokyo, who kindly handed 

 me a specimen collected by himself.
