distinct in dried state. 



L. Brownii has several varieties, of which some have white 

 fl., and others have broader leaves. The present specimen is 

 allied to L. japonicum, but differs from it in short broad leaves ; 

 also it is allied to L. nepalense C. Don, but differs from it in 

 the white color of fl., which is yellow in the type of the Nepal 

 plant. 



219. ? Lilium cordifolium Thunb. ; Sieb. et Zucc. Fl. Jap. 

 I. (1835) p. 33, tab. 13. II, et 14 ; Kunth, Enum. PL IV. 

 (1843) 268 ; Wright in Journ. Linn. Soc. XXXVI. 130. 



Very imperfect specimen consisting of a single flower. Mr. 

 Makino changed the name of the present sp. to Cardiocrinum 

 cordatum. (Confr. Bot. Mag. Tokyo (1913) p. 124.) 



220. Paris sp. 



Leaves 9-verticillate, petiolate, petiole 1 cm. long, lamina 

 (9x2 cm.) oblong lanceolate, subacuminate, peduncle about 

 1.3 dm., fl. solitary, sepals 8, like the lamina in form and 

 texture, but much smaller (4x1 cm.), petals 6 (?), linear, 1.2 

 cm. long ; stamens 14 (?), anthers 6 mm. long, filament half as 

 long. 



Many species of the genus are recorded from China ; the 

 descriptions of most of them do not agree with the present 

 specimen, which is not very perfect. 



221. Polygonatum officinale All. 



? var. Maximowiczii Fr. Schm. ; Max. in Mel. Biol. XI. 

 847 ; Wright in Journ. Linn. Soc. XXXVI. 108. (Chang, no. 

 143). 



The present specimen has the leaves scabrous beneath, 

 filament pubsscent, especially towards the base, twice as long 

 as the anther. Stature seems to be smaller than the Japanese 

 specimens of this variety. The type of P. o&cinale has leaves 

 glabrous beneath, filament glabrous, subequel to the anthers in 

 length.
