This new species differs from the Japanese species by its 2-foliate 

 limb of the calyx of the sterile flowers, and long lanceolate leaves.

Widely spread in the mountainous districts of Japan (from Honshu 

 up to Kiushiu) ; but not known from China or Himalaya. It is very remark- 

 able matter that we have found this plant in the alpine regions of Formosa. 



My Morrison specimen is a less villose form.

The Formosan specimen is somewhat different from the Japanese species. 

 The flowers are rather larger, leaves narrower, oblanceolate, with more 

 diverged second veinlets. I suspect if this may not be a variety of the 

 Japanese species.

 and Corea.
