characters it is true, but which with geographical distribution may sufficiently 
distinguish the Philippine form, although it might be better to consider the 
Luzon plant simply as a variety of the Australian species.

These specimens are undoubtedly Cardamine Regeliana Miq., which is widely 
distributed in eastern Asia, from the neighborhood of Behring’s Straits through 
Japan, Korea, China, the Philippines, and the Malay Archipelago. 
Chinese examples have been referred as subspecies flexuosa to Cardamine 
hirsuta Linn., but the true C. hirsuta of Linnaeus does not appear to reach eastern 
Asia. The plant intended as subspecies flexuosa is presumably G. sylvatica Link, 
to which the type of Miquel’s species is no doubt very close, but it seems 
advisable to follow Miquel in keeping C. Regeliana, for the present at least, 
separate. Regel, who had not seen specimens of the North American C. angulata 
Hook., referred Kamtschatkan specimens of G. Regeliana to the North American 
species, but erroneously. By Maximowicz it appears to have been distributed as 
G. sylvatica var. kamschatica and there seems little doubt that the forms placed 
at St. Petersburg under this name, from Japan, etc., are referred correctly to 
the same species as the small form from Kamtschatka, although the latter is of 
dwarf habit and depauperated. If the six-anthered form with large pinnae to 
the leaves, from southern Europe, be regarded as embracing C. Regeliana, then 
the specific name would be C. sylvatica, for although Hudson’s C. flexuosa has 
priority, it seems very questionable if the plant he had in view was true C. syl- 
vatica. (J. R. D.)

This may be a new species, but it is very near Arabis heterophylla var. a 
Forster in Herb. Ivew, which is not the same as Cardamine heterophylla Hook, 
in Ic. Plant. 58 and Journ. Bot. 2:404. The plant of the leones is a form 
common on and near the southern coasts of Australia and in Tasmania, which
