Protolirion Miyoshia-Sakuraii Makino. 



3Iiyoshia Sakurnii ]\Iakino, vide supra, cum tab. V. 



When the Bornean Petrosavia Beccari (with one species of J\ stellaris 

 Becc.) proves to be identical with Prof oUr ion Ridley (P. Groom, On a New 

 Saproph. Monocotyl. in Ann, Bot. IX. 1895, p. .57), my above name should 

 properly be altered to Petrosavia Miyoshia-Sakuraii Makino. 



The Japanese species differs from the Malayan Protolirion paradoxum 

 Ridlfy (1. c), by the evaginate scales on the rhizome, longer and not 

 connate vaginate inferior scaly leaves, narrow-subpaniculato-racemose or 

 racemose and many- flowered inflorescence, shorter pedicels, entire bracts, 

 deltoid sepals, and lato-ovate anther, etc. 



The occurrence of this genus in Japan is unquestionably very remarka- 

 ble. 



I said it is perhaps itetter to establish for it a new order, MiyosMacece, 

 if the claim is proper this name must be emended to Protofiriacece (possibly 

 Petrosaviace(e).
