﻿ON THE BOTANY OF JAI'AN. 401 



Utricularia intermedia is now for the first time met with in Japan. It had been 

 found already upon the Okotsk coast, and in Altai, as well as in Europe and the 

 Northern United States, but not west of the Rocky Mountains. 



Zuccarini indicates a Boschniaka, probably the B. glabra of Siberia and North- 

 western America. 



Catalpa Kampferi is the Japanese analogue of our Southern Alleghanian Catalpa ; 

 as is Tecoma grandiflora of our common Trumpet-Creeper. 



The new Scrophulariacece are a Scrophularia resembling <S'. aquatica, but with flowers 

 of twice the size ; * a Veronica near V. Chanuedrys, evidently Thunberg's plant of that 



five-parted calyx rotately spreading in fruit, were they not connected with it through A. Gmelini, inciiia, &c. 

 The second, much as it resembles the first in floral structure, difTers too widely from Androsace in inflorescence 

 and habit to be referred to that genus, and ita corolla Ls not at all constricted or fornicate at the throat. The 

 discoverer dedicates the plant to his companion, Mr. W. Stlmpson, the acute and assiduous zoologist of the 

 Expedition.

 specimens are mostly in fruit ; a few of the latest flowers show the corolla. Scapes one or two inches long : 

 pedicels in fruit from half an inch to an inch and a half in length. Fructiferous calyx 3 or 4 lines in diameter.
