Oss.—This species is very plastic with regard to the shape 
and size of leaflets, and even sometimes of petals. Sometimes 
leaflets are elliptical and cuneate towards the base, sometimes 
ovate and nearly truncato-roundish at the base. Their size varies 
exceedingly even in the same leaf. Franchet and Savatier, also 
Schneider, intend to distinguish varieties by the character of 
leaves, which seems to me to be quite impossible. The only point 
which separates the variety is the presence of the appressed 
brown persistent hairs on the under side of leaflet. It is rather 
singular that this species has not been recorded from Saghalien.

Oss.—Among the known species this comes close to the pre- 
ceding one, but differs by its leaf having 4-8 pairs (usually 6-) of 
leaflets smaller and uniform in size, truncato-roundish at the 
base, gradually tapering towards the apex, and its shorter calyx 
which does not exceed 3 mm. in length. The bract is very 
minute, measuring about 0°7—1 mm. long.

Has.—Japan : probably Kydsha, but without precise locality 
(ex. Hb. Lugduno-Batavo, fl., fr. Hb. Kew). 
Oss.—Maximowicz wrongly reduced this species to M. amur- 
ensis as a variety, which caused some confusion in nomenclature 
later. This species is well characterised above all by the pod, 
which is the largest amongst the known species with a broad 
wing on the ventral suture, and, as far as the present material 
shows, thin in texture. The leaf has 4-6 pairs of leaflets 
which are elliptical or ovate, more or less cuneate at base, hairy 
underneath when young and glabrous afterwards, and uniform 
in size. This appears to bea rare species, for it has not been re- 
discovered since Miquel’s time.
