This lias the intermediate habit Detween Lactuca, denticulate 
Maxim, and L. lanceolita Makino var. plityphylh Marino. Compared 
with L. denticulata Maxim., the stem of the present plant is much 
stouter, the lower brandies stouter, longer and much spreading, 
leaves thicker and slightly repand, heads denser and much numenh 
011 s，bracts on the pedicel not mucb. tapering, and florets of the 
head fewer (8 in number). This plant also differs from L. lanceMata 
Makino var. pi dyphylla Makino by having the more slender stem and 
branches, thinner smaller repand-margined and amplexicaul leaves, 
longer and sulcate involucre, more numerous florets (8 instead of 5 )， 
longer iigule, slender and longer achene, and longer pappus. It was 
rarely found in the locality, where two species L. denticulata Maxim. 
and L. lanceolata Makino var. platyphylla Makino grow together.
