PREFACE. 

 ■ *•• ■ 



It has always been my aim to prepare a Flora of Japan ; and with this end in view 

 I published in the years i888-'9i Illustrations of the Flora of Japan, which, however, 

 had unfortunately to be discontinued after the issue of only eleven parts. Since becom- 

 ing connected with the Botanical Institute of the College of Science, Imperial University 

 of Tokyo, I have devoted myself to the preparation of the /cones Flora Japonica, then 

 newly undertaken by the Institute. This publication, unparalleled as yet in the magni- 

 tude of its plan, will take tens of years to finish. Therefore, to meet the urgent need 

 that is being felt in educational quarters for an illustrated Flora of Japan, I have decided 

 to publish the present Figures and Descriptions, which will be issued monthly As 

 che Lower Cryptogams will be edited by Profs. Matsumura and MlYQSHI, I shall 

 onfine myself to the Phanerogams and the Higher Cryptogams.
