 localities other than Shikoku are hitherto unknown to me. 



Acanthopanax Sieboldianum Makino sp. nov. 



A deciduous shrub, loosely branching, branches elongate and arcuate, 

 flexuose, terete, glabrous; the cortex whitish-cinereous, but in old branches 

 often drab ; lenticels scattered ; the winter-bud small, solitary at the leaf- 

 axil, slightly flattened, obtuse, the scales broad, rather soft and thin, 

 smooth, ciliated along the upper margin, the outer scales cinereous, the 

 inner ones brownish ; prickle solitary, or 3 in the vigorous shoot, infra- 

 foliaceous, horizontal, straight or very slightly curved, 4-7 mm long, 

 slender, hard, smooth, not compressed, the basal portion abruptly expanded 

 in a semicircular manner and firmly and durably adherent on the stem. 

 Leaves digitate, long-petioled, fasciculate in number of 4r-7 on the lateral 

 " kurztrieb," sparse on the sterile long shoot ; the petiole slender and 

 strict, glabrous, longer than the leaflets, the longest one about 10 cm, 

 dilated and ciliated at the margins in the basal portion ; leaflets 5, the 

 uperior one largest, and often 7 J cm long, 3 J cm wide, the next paired 

 ones smaller and the last ones smallest, obovate, obovate-oblong or obovate- 

 oblanceolate, cuneate or longly attenuated towards the base and at length 

 forming a short petiolule, mostly villose at the inner part and often 

 spinulose at the dorsal part of the base of the petiolule, mucronate-obtuse 

 at the apex, unequally inciso-dentate, the teeth sometimes serrulate, often 

 very slightly incumbent, usually mucronate-obtuse or sometimes mucronate- 

 acute, the sinus mostly open, free from incisions at the lower margins, 

 chartaceous, the both surfaces green, entirely glabrous, but sparingly 

 spirmlose along the midrib and veins, or further at the lowest angles
