MATERILAS FOR A FLORA OF FORMOSA. 21 



Hab. Biöritsu : Rokujiö-taisan, ad 8000 ped. alt., leg. T. 

 Kawakami et U. Mori. 



Near R. plnlippinensis Merr. et Rolfe ; but differs from it by 

 the miicli smaller flowers and more rounded leaves. 



Raniinculus sp. 



Hab. in Monte Morrison, ad 10000 ped. alt., leg. T. Kawakami 

 et U. Mori, 1906, Oct. 



Observ. Apparently perennial with long fibrous roots. . Stem 

 slender hirsute, branchless, with a solitary flower. Radical leaves 

 long petiolate, petioles 6 cm. long, slender, nearl}^ glabrous or 

 thinly hairy, blades rounded in outline, 3-5-lobed towards the 

 apex, somewhat thick nearly glabrous or hirsute. Cauline 

 leaves 1 at the middle portion of the stem, subsessile, deeply 3- 

 lobed, lobes lanceolate, obtuse or acute, hirsute. No flowers ; 

 indeterminable. There is something like this at Kew, labelled 

 Ranunculus phillppinensis Merr. et Rolfe. Without examining its 

 flowers, it is difficult to say whether our plant is identical with 

 the Philippine plant or not.
