C. Glossophyllum, Max., from Yokoska, unpublished species which I also found, and the names of which were obligingly communicated to me in anticipation by M. Maximowicz; Arnica Alpina, De., a remarkable species, indigenous in the arctic region and which probably attains in the Niko hills its southermost habitat, the altitude compensating for the latitude. I have received from M. Tanaka, without indication of locality, but with no doubt of their Japanese origin: Senecio (Senecillis,) Schmidtii, Max., and another very curious Senecio of the group Cacalia, which we have named S. Tanakæ, Fr. and Sav., I may also mention, Senecio obtusata, Fr. and Sav., from Yokoska; Senecio (cacalia) Adenostyloides, Fr. and Sav., from Fusiyama; Senecio (cacalia) Davuricus, Schultz, the old Cacalia auriculata, De., which M. Maximowicz has frequently observed in the environs of Hakodate.
Miquel only knew three Saussureæ, including among these his Aplotaxis multicaulis which should be called Saussurea Bungei; we enumerate eleven species: S. Bungei; S. Nipponica, Miq.; S. Nikoensis, Fr. and Sav.; S. Riederi, herd; S. Krameri, Fr. and Sav.; S. Gracilis, Max.; S. Ussuriensis, Max.; S. Maximowiezii, Max.; S. triptera, Max.; S. Tanakæ, Fr. and Sav.; S. Japonica, De. We owe the knowledge of several of these species to M. Maximowicz. The same botanist has collected in Japan fourteen species of Cirsium; we cite only seven including anew one; C. Suffultum, Max.
In the Niko hills we have also found a magnificent Rhaponticum, Rh. Pungens, the bearing and figure of which is that of the Rh. Atriplicifolium, but which is easily distinguished from it by its lanciolated involucral and piercing scales.
Among the Chicoraceæ I may cite three singular species which hold, so to speak, a middle place between the Ixeris and the Nabalus. I shall here call them provisionally, Nabalus Spathulatus; N. Krameri; N. Tanakæ, Fr. and Sav., I owe these three plants to M. Tanaka.
