This is thinly distributed through Japan, and it principally differs 

 from the type in the ramose habit having diffusely numerous branches, 

 also stems are usually lower, leaves smaller, and nutlets more exserted 

 on the calyx-tube. 



The following is an enumeration of Japanese Ly copies : —

L. europceus is not yet found in Japan, Miquel and Franchet's L. 

 europceus as the Japanese plant is undoubtedly Lj. lucidus Turcz. 



Corydalis bulbosa DC. var. capillaris Makino nov. var. 



Delicate glabrous herb, about 10-20 cm high. Tuber globose, about 

 1 cm in diameter, with a few filiform roots at the base. Stem solitary, 

 simple or with a branch in the axile of a patent and recurved basal 

 squama, weak, filiform, 3-leaved. Leaves flaccid, obscurely glaucous, 3 

 or sometimes sub-4-ternati-compound, the inferior one arising from the axil 

 of the basal squama, long filiform-petioled, the superior two shortly petioled, 

 the secondary and the tertiary petioles of each leaf capillaceous-filiform, 

 the ultimate segments small, with short capillary petiolules, mostly orbicular- 

 obovate, obtuse with a minute mucro at the apex, obtuse or rounded- 

 obtuse at the base, the superior segment often 3-lobed, rarely the lobes 

 again cut into 2 or 3 lobules. Kaceme short with long peduncle below, 

 few or several-flowered ; bracts sessile, flabellato-laciniate, cuneate at the 

 base, much shorter than the capillary pedicels. Flowers horizontally
