PLANTS COLLECTED IN JAPAN. 309 



convexo subpapilloso rostro parvo declinato, ore apicali minuto. — Hakodadi, along the edge of 

 woods. A caulescent species, with a remarkably stout stem, a foot or less in height, leaves as 

 large as those of V. pubescens, and very conspicuous stipules of an inch or an inch and a half in 

 length, (the upper ones as long as the petiole,) and strikingly laciniate-pinnatifid, something 

 as in V. striata, but several times larger. The latter character suggests the specific name. 

 Flowers as large as those of V. Canadensis, and with an equally short and thick spur. 



Dianthus Chinensis, Linn. Simoda, in rocky places on the sea-shore ; May. There are 

 portions of two other species in the collection ; one of them probably cultivated. 



Honckenya peploides, EhrTi.; Torr. & Gray, Fl. l,p. 176. Hakodadi. Not before recorded 

 from Japan. The specimens are nearly the var. oblongifolia, (H. oblongifolia, Torr. & Gray, I. c.) 



Mcehringia lateriflora, Fend. Arenaria lateriflora, Linn. Hakodadi. New to the Japanese 

 Flora, but known in the Kurile Islands, and encircling the Northern hemisphere. 



Mcehringia seu Arenaria, n. sp.: foliis linearibus rigidiusculis ; floribus terminalibus longe 

 pedunculatis tetrameris ; sepalis petalisque orbiculatis ; stylis 4. — Hakodadi. Too uncertain as 

 to the genus to be named. 



Arenaria sepyllifolia, Linn.; Thunb. Fl. Jap., p. 186. Simoda. 



Stellaria media, Linn. Simoda, Yokohama, and Hakodadi.

Zanthoxtlum planispinum, Sieb. & Zucc. Fam. Nat. Fl. Jap. I. c. p. 30 ; var. foliolis latiori- 

 bus interdum 7. — Simoda. The female plant, in blossom. The leaflets are mostly oblong or 

 ovate-oblong, little narrowed at the base, and exhibit a few pellucid glands on the lamina, as 

 well as those at the (rather conspicuous) crenatures. The flowers are chiefly digynous, as they 

 likewise are in a specimen (from Burger's collection?) communicated to me from the Leydeu 

 herbarium. The spines are often very broad and stout.
