It is distinguished from the type by its numerous sepals. My specimen 

 I owe to the kindness of Mr. T. Kataoka, a chamberlain in the Imperial 

 palace, who was making an Official inspection in the Kurile islands at the 

 time of the collection, and was collected by Mr. C. Tarao, who went to 

 the islands in his suite. The Japanese name Kataoka-so was proposed 

 by Dr. K. Miyabe as a memorial name.
