Led., known only in Siberia, and which I have found in the Niko chain;—Clematis fusca, var, Mandshurica, Regel, from Hakodate, vaguely given by Miquel;—Ranunculus reptans, L., an exclusively northern plant; lastly, another Ranunculus, gathered in the streets of Yedo, which must be placed near the R. Sieboldii.
Berberideæ.—Berberis vulgaris, L. from Niko, which only differs from the European in having single instead of tripartite thorns.
Fumariaceæ.—Corydalis Raddeana, Regel, a Siberian species which I gathered at Niko.
Violarieæ—Viola variegata, Visch., a species remarkable for its venation tinged with white, I owe this plant to my friend, Mr. C. Kramer, who found it in the province of Koshiu.
Geraniaceæ. In the Enumeratio, we have only given three species as belonging to the genus Geranium; I now know five others: Ger. pseudo-Sibericum, Mey., from Niko;—Ger. Wlassiovianum, Fisch., from Hakodate;—Ger. species nova, like the Ger. Wlassovianum, and possessing like it united stipules (stipules connés) found at Simosa, by Mr. Kramer; Ger. Dahuricum, De., from Hakodate, easily recognized by its grumous root; Ger. Robertianum, L., a single specimen of which I found in 1871 in the mountains of Hakone. Lastly, I will mention the Ger. pusillum, doubtless imported from Europe, which I found in my garden.—The Impatiens parviflora was given to me by Mr. Kramer without any indication of locality; this species is to be found depicted in the Soo Mokou, Vol. 17, p. 69.
Ilicineæ. I gathered at Niko the Ilex Rugosa, Sieb. vaguely indicated in Japan, observed in the Island of Saghalien, and well delineated by Mr. Schmidt.
Leguminosæ. This family has increased in an important degree since the publication of Miquel’s catalogue. The novelties are noted, in part, in our Enumeratio; since which M. Maximowicz has made others known in his 14th chapter.
