Nom. Jap. Goki-dzuru. 



Hab. Japan.

The intermediate forms frequently occur in Japan and thus serve the 

 connecting links between both extremities (a. typicum and ft. racemosum). 



var. ;-. palmatum Makino var. nov. 



Leaves orbiculate or reniform-orbiculate in outline, cordate at base, 

 attaining about 3 cm. long and broad, very deeply 3-parted ; the midlobe 

 oval-obovate to elliptical-obovate, often subtrilobate or sub-5-lobate with 

 cuspidato-obtuse points ; lateral lobes broader, 2— fid, the upper lobule entire 

 and often with 3-cuspidate teeth, the lower lobule shorter, often 2-fid ; 

 petiole shorter than the blade. Bracts small, similar to the leaves in form. 



Nom. Jap. Tsukaba-gokidzurii (nov.).

This interesting genus was known to be hermaphrodite. Closer ex- 

 amination of the specimens on our hands, however, it proved to be poly- 

 gamous, at least regarding the species here described. Hence some additional 

 remarks shall be necessary. 



Add. gen. charact. — Flowers diceciously polygamous. Male 

 flowers racemose and paniculate. Calyx 5-fid ; tube depressed-campanu- 

 late, subpateriform ; lobes subulato-linear. Corolla rotate, deeply 5-parted ; 

 lobes angustato-ovate. Stamens 3, free, approximate, inserted at the base 

 of calyx-tube ; filament rather short; anther short, one unilocular, others 

 bilocular and didymous, loculaments broad-oblong; connective shorter than 

 the loculament. Pollen globose, smooth.
