lanceolato-linear, acumanato-acute, entire, more or less narrowed below, 

 apparently sobdeltoid-aiiriculate behind at the base, 6-lOmm. long, l-l§mm^ 

 broad, attached to the stem by the central point above the base, the basal 

 portion usually purpurascent ; main nerves 3, veinlets few, loose, erect-patent. 

 Cyme about l^cm. across, dichotomous ; branches erect-patent, about 

 2-3-flowered ; bracts leaf-like. Flowers sessile, 1cm. across, yellow. Sepals 

 5, unequal in length, very shortly connate at the base, linear or 

 subulato-linear, acutish, one-nerved, green, some of them auriculate 

 behind at the base. Petals 5, about twice the length of the sepal, linear- 

 lanceolate, acuminate, shortly connate at the base, 5-5jmm. long. Stamens 

 10, shorter than the petals ; filament subulato-fiHform ; anther elliptical. 

 Ovaries 5, lanceolate, long-acuminate into a subulate style ; stigma punctiform; 

 ovules narrowly oblong. Follicles 5, erect-patent, ovato-lanceolate, acut^e 

 with the style, compressed, the ventral appendages conspicuous. Seeds

Corydalis (Capnoides) japonica Makino, sp. nov. 



Elate, flaccid, glabrous, attaining about 8 decim. in height. Stems 

 csespitose, erect, ascending at the base, flexuous, ramose, foliate, attaining 

 about 7mm. in diameter, the branches all racemiferous. Leaves thinly 

 membranaceous, glaucous-green, but usually darkish when dried, the 

 basal ones long-pet iolate but the superior ones short-petiolate ; the petiole 

 angustato-vaginate ; the blade elliptical but oblong in the upper ones, 

 bipinnatisected, the cauline one attaining about 23cm. in length ; primary 

 segments 3~4-jugate, patent or erect-patent, with petioles 3-25mm. long ; 

 secondary segments 1-2 or sub-3-jugate, sessile or subpetiolulate, but 

 decurrent in the superior ones, broadly ovate to ovato-oblong, broadly 

 cuneate, 3-9-lobed, 5-35 mm. long, 4-20 mm. broad ; lobes rounded or 

 sometimes rounded-obtuse and minutely mucronate at the apex ; the basal 

 leaves often with deeply lobate secondary segments. Kaceme elongate, 

 attaining 21cm. long in fruit, densely and secundly many-flowered from 

 the base to the top; rachis slender; pedicels gracile, deflexed and 3-6mm. 

 in length in fruit ; bracts subulato-linear, acuminate, entire or sometimes 

 minutely pauci-denticulate, sessile, shorter than the pedicel. Flower small, 

 horizontal, pale-yellowish, 9mm. long. Sepals minute, obliquely cordato-
