Named in memory of our esteemed friend Dr. Kingo Miyabe, Professor of botany 

 in the College of Agriculture, Tohoku Imperial University, Sapporo, Japan. 



It is very interesting to observe that we have some closely allied forms in Japan 

 (viz. Pr. japonica, A. Gray) on one hand, and, on the other, in Yunnan (viz. Pr. 

 angustidens, Pax, Pr. Poissoni, Franch., Pr. serratifolia, Franch., Pr. BuRayana, 

 Forrest 1 )) and Szechuan (viz. Pr. Cockburniana, Hemsl. 2) ) in South and Central 

 China respectively.
