The flora of Mt. Maédake, on which I found the form of 
Silene Keiskei with pure white flower, is very little known. 
This gigantic mountain, of a little less than 10,000 ft. in height,* 
and also of palaeozoic rocks, is situated not very far from the 
one above mentioned. Its summit is densely covered with 
the straggling Pinus pumila, as in most cases in the high moun- 
tains of Central and Northern Japan. In the alpine region 
one comes across such plants as follows :— 
Adenophora Lamarcki1, Fisch. 
Alsine arctica, Fenzl. 
Arcterica nana, Makino. 
Arctous alpina, Nied. 
Campanula pilosa, Pall., var. dasyantha, Herd. 
Cnidium Tachiroei, Makino.
