This new plant very much resembles Japanese P. quadrifolia L. var. 

 obovata Beg. et Til ; but differs by the lanceolato-linear leaves and 

 filiformed petals. This is the only one species of Paris found in Formosa. 



This genus is spread over Europe westwards from Altai, Siberia, 

 Himalaya, China and Japan. The species belonging to the genus are 8 in 

 central China and 3 in Japan.

This plant is found in the mountainous district of southern India such 

 as Neilghirries at the altitude of 3000-5000 ft, and also in Ceylon at the 

 altitude of 3000-5000 ft. (after Beddome) ; but not found in Himalaya. It 

 is a rather anomalous case that such a southern species is found in the 

 alpine region of Formosa. No species of this genus has yet been known 

 from central China.
