which, the writer says, grows in the province of Kaga. It is 
identified by Franchet as C. anemonejolia. The second is said 
to be a large-leaved plant which grows in the province of 
Satsuma: Franchet, in the Hnumeratio Plantarum japonicarum, 
doubtfully identifies it with C. orientalis, adding that perhaps 
it represents but a cultivated variety of (. anemonefolia, but 
in the Journal de Botanique, 1897, p. 228, he dismisses the 
query, and accepts it as C. anemonefolia. The third is des-

cribed as having leaves very like the first : but it is represented 
as differing in colour and in rhizome : its origin is not stated : 
Franchet in the Enumeratio identified it as C. cccidentalis ; but 
in the Journal de Botanique he identifies it as C. anemonefolia. 
The fourth is identified by Franchet as the same as the last in 
either work : it is recorded as growing in the province of Wakasa. 
e fifth plant is described as having the leaf of parsley : it comes 
from the province of Tamba at Kamiana (near Wakasa), and also 
zrows in the mountains of Nikko in the Shimisu province, and 
plentifully on Yamasiro in the province Kifuna: Franchet in the 
Enumeratio calls it C. brachypetala, while in the Journal de Bota- 
nique he does not quote the plate. The sixth plant is identified 
by the author of the Phonzo Zufu with the last. The figures 
of all these, much reduced, I reproduce here.
