132 BULLETIN DE l'hERBIER BOISSIER. (4) 



Yar. glandulosum Koch, Syn. fl. Germ. Helv. ed. 2. p. 134 (1843) : = 

 C. viscosum var. glandulosum Boenningh. Prodr. fl. 3Ionast. Westph. 

 no 565 (1824). 



This, the less common form elsewhere, is the variety that is generally 

 found throughout Japan, in cornfields, grass-plots, fields, and by the way- 

 side. For a plant so generally distributedit is unnecessary to give localities, 

 but the following spécimens unnamed or incorrectly named are to be 

 referred to this (J. Bisset n« 51, 1876 ; Y. Tokubucho, 1890 ; Faurie 

 no 340, no 586, 1891). 



The plant is readily identifled from the spécimen figured, under the 

 name of « miminagusa », in the Japanese botanical work Soo Bokf. Yllf, 

 t, 71, and more recently in the corresponding volume of the Somokou- 

 Douousetss. 



8. C. glomeratum Thuill. Fl. Env. Paris, ed. 2, p. 226. 



Less often met with than the preceding, though often confused with it 

 in collections. 



Hab. Nippon ; Simoda in the prov. of Älusashi (Williams et Morrow ex 

 Franck, et Savat. Enum. PI. Japon, p. 50). Yezo; island of Rebunshiri, 

 off the west coast (Faurie no 7286, 1891). 



The botanical work abready accomplished by American, Russian, and 

 French travellers, with the continued investigations of native botanists 

 fostered by the scientific staff of the Imperial üniversity of Tokyo, are 

 likely to render possible in the near future a comprehensive account of 

 the phytography of Japan.
