across ; pedicel filiform, erect, longer than leaves, greenish, tomentoso- 

 pubescent with stellate hairs. Sepals a little unequal in length, ovato- 

 lanceolate to angustato-lanceolate, acute, entire, scarious towards the margin, 

 pubescent with stellate hairs, light green, 6 mm. long, persistent. Petals 

 white, erect-patent, longer than sepals, very deeply 2-partite, cuneate below ; 

 lobes subspathulate-lanceolate, gradually attenuated below, obtuse, entire. 

 Stamens 10, perigynous, shorter than petals and sepals, the alternate 5 

 shorter ; filaments subulate-filiform, very shortly connate at base, glabrous ; 

 anther oblong-elliptical, yellowish. Ovary sessile, ovoid, 1-celled, with 6 

 entire and ovato-oblong valves, glabrous, greenish, 1 j mm. long ; styles 3, a

 of the Botanic Garden, Science College, Imperial University of Tokyo.
