Glaucidium paradoxum Makino, sp. nov. Perennial, attaining about 35cm. in height. Stem erect,

simple (or ramose ?), very thinly puberulent with curved hairs. Leaf (cauline) solitary, petiolate, situated in the middle of stem, spreading, large, cordato-reniform in outline with a deep and open sinus, 5-fid, thinly membranaceous, shining, nearly glabrous but thinly pubescent on the nerves and somewhat bullate above, pubescent with curved hairs on the nerves beneath, about 15cm. long, 16cm. broad ; lobes deltoid, acuminate or acute with a mucronate tip, coarsely and subunequally dentato-serrate with mucronato-deltoid teeth; main nerves 5 and palmate; veins loose, erect-patent or patulous; veinlets loose, coarsely tetra-penta- or hexa-gonally reticulated ; petiole stout, pubescent with curved hairs, about 2½ cm. long. Bract large, solitary, sessile, cordato-orbicular, coarsely and unequally serrato-dentate with mucronato-deltoid teeth, texture venation and hairiness. as in the leaf, about 8cm. long, S½cm. broad. Peduncle nearly erect, about 5cm. long, thinly pubescent with curved hairs. Flower solitary (or geminate ?) terminal, showy, white, about 6cm. in diameter. Sepals 4, 2-serial, large, patent, obovoid-oval, about 3cm. long, 2½-3cm. broad. Stamens numerous, attaining about 5mm. long; some of them (in my specimen) passed into a stipitate carpel and a subpetaloid carpel with a sessile stigma ; filament filiform, but cuneato-spathulate above, glabrous ; anther ovato-oval, with arcuate and linear cells, nearly lateral but scarcely introrse ; connective con-spicuous, continued to the filament. Carpels 4 (2 of them abnormal and not ovuled) closely placed, nearly free, erect, sessile, oval or oblong-ovoid, slightly puberulent, thickish~walled, 3-4 mm. long; stigma sessile, capitate; ovules several, 2-serial,
