§ 8, on the history of the Japanese Bupleuroflora. 



I have more exactly exposed my point of view and my opinions 

 about the phylogenetic history of the genus in my other larger 

 essay, to which I beg everyone who is interested to pay atten- 

 tion. I have shown in this essay: 



a. that Bupleurum, with its relations [Nirarathamnus, 

 В a If. fil.! Rhyticarpus, Sond, Heteromor pha, Ch. et 

 Schi, etc.], is a genus of Gondwanian origin, which spread 

 over the Eurasian continent only after the appearance of land by 

 upheaval from water of Tetis-sea, — of a bridge between Gondwana 

 and Eurasia.
