1. ADOXA L. 



1. Adoxa moschatellina L. Rempuko-so. Delicate 



perennial herb 8-15 cm. high, with slender creeping rhizomes; 

 radical leaves long-petiolate, 1- to 2-ternate, the leaflets ter- 

 nately dissected and lobulate; cauline leaves a single pair, simi- 

 lar to the radical but short petiolate and less dissected, smaller; 

 flowers sessile, small, greenish, 4-6 mm. across, capitate,

stoned; seeds with endosperm, the embryo small. Apr.- 



May. Damp woods in mountains and hills; Hokkaido, Hon- 

 shu (Kinki Distr. and northw.). The phase in e. Asia and 

 India is without fragrance and is sometimes distinguished
