New to the Flora of the main land of Japan, but Kurile 

 Islands, or Chishima, of Hokkaido, was formerly reported by 

 Maximowicz as one of the localities of this species. It differs 

 from P. amcena Adams, in which the pinnas and calyx-teeth 

 are narrower. 



Forma albi&ora (=P. vertkillata var. fl. albis Herd. 1. c. 

 p. 83) rarely occurs there.
