 in Corea. 



The present species was described l)y Maximowicz wlio took for its type the 

 flowering specimens collected by Tschonoski (Chonosuke Sagawa) in the alpine 

 region of Naiubu in 1865. When one of the authors met Prof. Maximowicz in 

 St. Petei-sburg in 1889, he expressed some doubt regarding the systematic position 

 of the plant, which, he said, would be settled by the character of matured fruits. 



The plant has the general aspect of Enophorum kUi/oKum Hoppe, with 

 which it has often been confounded. The bristles are, however, six in number, 

 and are about the same lengtb as the style, and they never become elongated 

 after anthesis as in the case of Eriophorum. The late C. B. Clarke referred the 

 l)lant correctly to tlie genus Scirpus ; and we have here adopted the name 

 proposed by him.

We agree with Mr. JNlakiuo in considering the present plant as a new 

 species of Zygadenus. We have nothing to add to the complete and accurate 

 description of the species given by the author. As the specific name Z//(/aclenus 

 Japonicus had already been used by Miquel (Pro!. Fl. Jap. p. 310j for Aoyagiso, 

 Veratrum Maaclc'ii Bgl., we take this opportunity to pay respect to oar esteemed 

 friend by associating his name with tliis interesting plant.
