PRIMITIAE FLORAE AMURENSIS. 277 
Jongius acuminata, atque glabritiem, statim dignoscitur racemi compositi pedunculis erecto- 
patulis densi-atque multifloris. 
Erecta, 5 decim. alta. Rhizoma Polygonati, horizontale, pennae scriptoriae crassitie, albi- 
dum, hinc inde ramosum, fibris radicalibus densissime obsessum. Caulis teres, inanis, basi 
rectus, glabratus, supra collum squama hyalina tenerrima acutiuscula, amplectente, mox evanida 
instructus, ceterum ad medium fere usque nudus, supra medium foliosus, flexuosus, angulatus, 
pilis crebris deorsum birtns. Folia alterna, oblonga, basi rotundata, in petiolum 1 centim. et q. 
exc. longum attenuata, apice acuminata, inferiora latiora (6 centim. lata), media (41 cent. lata), 
et superiora (21 cent. lata) angustiora eaque e basi latiore versus apicem sensius acuminata, 
omnia striato-multinervia, nervis 7—9 distinetioribus, utrinque pilis longiusculis adpressis pu- 
bescentia, margine ciliata, tenuia, utrinque viridia, subopaca, 13 centim. longa. Panicula supra 
folium supremum peduneulo pollicari insidens, ubique dense hirta, 4—6 cent. longa, 21—4 
cent. lata, pedunculis divaricato-patentibus {—5-floris, pedicellis basi minute bracteatis, 11 
mill. longis. Flores ignoti, quantum e rudimentis judicare licet, iis Hajanthemi bifoli majores, 
albi (?), phyllis perigonii lineari-oblongis, stamina subaequantibus, germen cum stylo crasso 
subaequilongo vix superantibus. Bacca (nondum plene matura) globosa, grani piperis magni- 
tudine, disperma, seminibus orbieulatis decoloribus. 
Crescit circa Pekin (in montibus ab urbe occidentem versus, Junio florens, Rel. Fisch.) 
Smilacinae species huic affinis, sed ob specimen unicum forsan depauperatum non rite determi- 
nanda. À nostra differt foliis praeter marginem breviter ciliatum glabris, apici caulis tantum 
insidentibus, paucis (in suppetente specimine #), racemo depauperato vix composito brevi, 
circiter 8-floro, floribus brevissime pedicellatis, ïis Asteranthemi dahurici similibus, sed forsan 
paullo majoribus, phyllisque horizontali-patentibus, rhachi parce sparseque pubescente.
