This species is possibly a hybrid between Chmjsanthemum japo- 

 nicum Making (Byünö-giku) and Ch. Pallasianum Komak. var. japo- 

 nicum (Feanch. et Sav.) {iwa-i?ichi?i) , whicn are found growing in 

 the same place with my species. I have named this rare species 

 in honour of Mr. Reizö Kono, who collected it at first.
