THE new plants described here—of which specimens are 
deposited in the Herbarium of the Royal Botanic Garden, 
Edinburgh—were mostly collected on the mountain-group of 
Yaparo-dake, in the Island of Yezo. These mountains, which 
are of palaeozoic formation and of considerable height, reaching 
some 6000 ft. from sea-level, had hardly been explored from the 
botanical point of view until Mr. H. Yanagisawa made ascents 
in 1912 and again in the following year.* His collection is 
excellent, and contains a number of plants of great interest. 
Amongst others, I may perhaps mention the occurrence of 
the following plants which have either not been known from 
Yezo, or are really worth recording :— 
Alsine arctica, Fenzl. 
A. verna, Bartl., var. borealis, Fenzl. 
Anemone narcissifiora, Linn., var. villosissima, DC. 
A. Taraot, Takeda, var. nipponica, Takeda, in Journ. Bot., 
IgI0, p. 220. 
Angelica multisecta, Maxim. 
Arcterica nana, Makino, in Téky6 Bot. Mag., 1906, p. 85. 
Arenaria Katoana, Makino, ibid., 1905, p. 88. 
Arnica unalaschkensis, Less. 
Artemisia norvegica, Fries. 
Bryanthus Gmelini, D. Don. 
Bupleurum longifolium, Linn., var. aureum, Wolf, subvar, 
brevi-involucratum, Wolf; cf. Takeda, in Tékyé Bot. 
Mag., 1910, p. 177; and Journ. Linn. Soc. xlii (1914), 
p. 467. 
B. triradiatum, Adams. 
* Mr. T. Ishikawa made an ascent in 1896 and did some plant-collecting, 
although that was not his object.
