the base, about 7mm. long ; faces bordered with the intra- 

 marginal muricate broad lines, the ventral 2 faces concave, the 

 dorsal face roundedly curved and with a small vertical ridge in 

 centre. 



Nom. Jap. Akami-no-yabugarashi (nov.). 



Hab. Prov. Satsuma : Mt. Eboshi-dake, summit, sylvan 

 place (Shusaku Yoshimural Aug. 22, 1910) ; Prov. Osumi: Oka- 

 wa-mura, mountain, sylvan place (Z. Tashiro ! Aug, 1910 ; T. 

 Makino ! Aug. 1910). 



This is always found growing in sylvan place on mountains. 

 It has a close affinity to Cissus japonic a Willd. (= Vitisjaponica 

 Thunb.), but the berry and seeds are very distinct from those 

 of the latter ; at same time it seems to be very closely allied to 

 Cissus corniculata Planch. ( = Vitis corniculata Thunb.), which 

 has the dentate leaves. I have named this in honour of Prof. 

 Shusaku Yoshimura of the Kagoshima Middle School, who 

 was the first collected this species in above cited locality.
