Maxim, described in Mel. Biol. IX. p. 152, but differs from the 

 latter by not having the purple and centrifugally expanded 

 flowers. This differs also from S. canadensis Linn, by having 

 broader leaflets, longer bracts, thicker spikes and larger flowers. 

 Finally, it seems to be allied to 5. alpinn Bunge, from which it 

 is distinguishable by the filament, style, etc. 



Fragaria Iinumae Makino, sp. no v. 



Rhizome erect or ascending, often elongate, attaining about

 one obovate, cuneate towards the base and entire below, 2—4 

 cm. long, l£-3cm. wide; lateral ones slightly smaller, some- 

 what obliquely obtuso-cuneate at the base ; petiole piloso-villose,

 broad, membranaceous, ovate or falcato-ovatc, obtuse or acute, 

 adnate to the petiole below. Scape 1 or few, as long as or 

 shorter than the leaves, erect, adpressed-pilose, 1—2— flowered ;

 those, if any, in the pedicel minute and stipuliform ; bracteoles 

 7, shorter than the calyx-lobes, lanceolate or linear-oblong,
