TWO NEW JAPANESE POTAMOGETONS. 



By Arthur Bennett. 



I have long wished I could connect my friend Fryer's name 

 with a plant of the genus he so well understands, but the hope of 

 doing so with British or European specimens (except hybrids) seems 

 remote. So I here give his name to a fine species from Japan 

 that has remained without a name because of the want of material, 

 for the reason that as time goes on greater caution is needed 

 in multiplying species. I am now enabled to frame a description, 

 Dr. Rendle having sent me an example to name from Nippon, and 

 the Abbe Faurie a good specimen from Corea. It was gathered as
