A tall tree. Leaves long-petiolate, 5-cleft, 4-9 cm. long, 5-13 cm. 

 wide, broadly truncate or sometimes truncato-subcordate at the base, 

 chartaceous, glabrous, but tomentose at basal axils of radiating main nerves ; 

 lobes lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, prolonged acuminate, entire and more 

 or less crispate on margins, the lowest lobes horizontally patent ; main 

 nerves 5, radiating from the base, slender, straight ; veinlets delicate, 

 reticulated ; petiole slender, longer or shorter than the blade. Samaras 

 rather numerous, glabrous; cocci compressed, reticulately nervate, the outer 

 edge rounded; wings erect, oblong-lanceolate, obtuse or acutish at the 

 apex, often partly lying one on another.

Stellaria filicaulis Makino sp. nov. 



Loosely csespitose, quite glabrous, attaining about 7J decim. in height 

 Stems erect or ascending, shout-filiform, elongate, weak, acutely 4-gonous 

 with smooth angles, loosely and dichotomosely branching, inter nodes longer 

 than the leaves. Leaves opposite, spreading or erect-patent, angustate- 

 linear, but sometimes linear in the inferior ones, sessile, acuminate with an 

 obtuse or acutish tip at the apex, gradually attenuated below and clasping 

 the stem, entire, thin, with a gracile midrib and very delicate loose and in- 

 conspicuous veins, l-3§ cm. in length, 1-2 or sometimes 3 mm. in breadth. 

 Flower terminal, solitary, small, 6-9 mm. across ; pedicel slender, filiform, 

 1 j-6 cm. or more long. Sepals 5, erect-patent, subulate-lanceolate, acumi- 

 nate with a very sharp tip, entire, scarions towards margins, quite 

 glabrous, trinerved, about 3^-4 mm. long. Petals 5, erect-patent, white, 

 longer than the sepals, 2-cleft with linear and obtuse-tipped lobes, narrow- 

 ly cuneate below, about 6-8 mm. long. Stamens 10, shorter than the 

 petals ; filament subulate -filiform, glabrous ; anther minute, ovate-elliptical. 

 Ovary obo void- ellipsoid, glabrous; styles 3, free, erect, but slightly divergent 

 above, filiform, glabrous, equalling the stamens in height, with a narrow 

 stigma at the inner side above ; ovules many (about 16-17), minute, 

 orbicular or obovato-orbicular, compressed. Capsule surpassing the per- 

 sistent calyx, oblong-cylindrical, glabrous, about 6 mm. long, with thin
