Asparagus Tamahold Yatabe is evidently a male plant of A. 

 oligoclonos Maxim, having the rudimentary ovary, which is incorrectly 

 described as the normal one by the author. The section to which this 

 plant belongs is not Asjxiragojjsis (Kunth), but Euasparagus. The proper 

 flowering time of this species is not October as reported by the same 

 author, but May. This species comes near to A. officinalis Linn., and 

 the flower has the close resemblance one another.
