Hab. Prov. HIZEN : Mt. Tenzan, wild ? (Herb.! commun.

 (J. Matsumura ! herb. Sc. Coll. Imp. Univ. Tokyo, 1879 ; H.

 SHIMOTSUKE: Nikko, cultivated (K. Sawada ! herb, ibid.); 

 Prov. AWA in Shikoku : Tokushima, cultivated (D. Nikai! herb,

 gardens, the length of the calyx-segments are, as in Miouel's 

 description under Andromeda perulata, often one-half as long 

 as the corolla. 



This species is commonly cultivated and hitherto un- 

 known to grow wild in Japan. It is said to have been 

 recently found in wild in the above-cited locality, Mt. Tenzan
