3J4 EXPEDITION TO JAPAN. 



i 



cyrnis parvis lateralibus breviter pedunculatis paucifloris ; pedicellis fructu muricato-scabro vix 

 longioribus. Gr. rotuadum (rotundifoliutn) , Thunb. Fl. Jap., p. 59. Hakodadi. In fruit only. 



Serissa FffiTiDA, Comm. ; DC. Prodr. k,p. 575. Lycium Japonicum, Thunb. Fl. Jap., p. 93," 

 1. 17. Simoda. "Cultivated." 



Damnacanthus Indicus, Goertn. Carp. 3, p. 18, t. 182. Carissa spinarum, Thunb.; DC. 

 Prodi-. 4, p. 473. Simoda. In the size of the leaves and flowers, and the shape of the teeth of 

 the calyx, approaching D. major, Sieb, & Zucc. 



Valeriana Tripteris, Linn. : DC. Prodr. 4, p. 636. Simoda. This appears to be just the 

 European species ; which is the more remarkable as it is not recorded from any part of Northern 

 Asia, nor of Western America. Some of the upper cauline leaves bear five leaflets, the lower 

 pair very small. 



Petasites albus, Gcertn.; DC. Prodr. 5, p. 207. Tussilago Petasites, Thunb. Fl. Jap. p. 314 

 Nardosmia Japonica, Sieb. & Zucc. ? Low woodlands, Yokohama, March. Leaves not gathered ; 

 but the broad bracts, &c, are those of P. albus. 



Aster Japonicus, Less.; Nees. Ast. p. 34. Inula dubia, Thunb. Simoda ; on mountain tops, 

 April. Low specimens, only a span high, but agreeing well with Thunberg's and Lcssing's 

 description, except that the upper part of the stem is not leafless for any great length. The 

 species is nearly allied to A. Unalaschensis, perhaps only a form of it. The rays are large, and 

 •were evidently blue or purple. 



Erigeron ptjlchellus, DC. Prodr. 5, p. 257? Yokohama. 



Asteromcea Indica, Blume. Aster Indicus, Thunb. Fl. Jap. p. 316. Yokohama. 



Dollingerta scabra, Nees. Ast. p. 183? Yokohama and Simoda. 



Tagetes pattjla, Linn.; Thunb. Fl. Jap. p. 320. Simoda. Cultivated. 



Pyrethrtjm Sinense, Sabine ; DC. Cultivated forms. 



Gnaphalium confusum, DC. Prodr. 6, p 222. Simoda. 



Calendula officinalis, Linn.; Thunb. Yokohama ; on hill-sides. 



Aplotaxis motlicaulis, DC. in Deless. Ic. 4, t. 68, & Prodr. 6, p. 540 ? Simoda ; common 

 everywhere. I have no Nepaul specimens for comparison ; but, judging from the figure and 

 description, this is likely to be De Candolle's plant. 



Lappa major, Gozrtn.; DC. Simoda. 



Cirsium Japonicum, DC. Prodr. 6, p. 640. Simoda. 



Anandria Bellldiastrum, DC. Prodr. *J,p. 40. Hakodadi. Dwarf forms. 



Picris hieracioides, Linn.; DC. Prodr. 7, p. 128. Picris Japonica, Thunb.; Sieb. & Zucc. I. c; 

 Ledeb. Fl. Poss. 2, p. 800. P. Davurica, Fisch. & Hornem.; DC. I. c. P. Kamtschatica, 

 Ledeb. Fl. Alt. &c. Simoda and Hakodadi. Zuccarini had already joined the North Asiatic 

 plant to the Japanese, but they all may be safely referred, along with the New Zealand and 

 Australian forms, to the European P. hieracioides. 



Youngia Thunbergiana, DC. Prodr. 7, p. 192. Prenanthes lyrata, Tliunb. Simoda. 



Youngia debilis, DC. 1. c. p. 194. Prenanthes debilis, Thunb. This is referred by Zuccarini 

 to Y. pygmasa, Ledeb., a polymorphous species which includes Barkhausia and Crepis nana ; but 

 the leaves and heads are so much larger in our specimens than in the last named plant, and the 

 habit so different, that I hesitate to refer Thunberg's Prenanthes debilis (which ours seems to 

 be) to that species. The specimens were gathered at Simoda and Yokohama. 



Youngia Japonica, DC. 1. c, p. 194 ? Simoda. A single specimen gathered, with capitula
