    In August 1954 and September 1959, the author visited the limestone range in the southern part of Pref. Kumamoto, so-called 'Nanhi' district, Kyushu, Japan, situated 200 m to 1300 m above the sea level. There are found everywhere cliffs, escarpments and gravelly places, consisted of the permo-carboniferous limestone. The present paper, contains the results of his field observations and his herbarium works on the characteristic vascular plants of limestone areas in the districts concened, together with nomenclatural corrections and revisions of the related species. There are as follows : (1) The new informations of distribution were given for Acanthopanax hypoleucus and Hypodematium fauriei. (2) The detected calciphilous plants were Allium tuberosum, Angelica shikokiana-group, Camptosorus sibiricus, Clematis speciosa, C. stans var. austrojaponensis, C. Williamsii, Dennstaedtia Wilfordii, Eribotrya japonica, Nandina domestica, Paeonia japonica, Philadelphus satsumi-group, Pilea pseudopetiolaris, Polystichum craspedosorum, P. deltodon, Spriaea bervosa, Veratrum Maackii and Zabelia integrifolia. (3) Epimedium grandiflorum var. higoense are newly described from the present area. Besides this, Rhamnus Yoshinoi var. velvetina was added to the florula of the Chugoku district, western Honshu, Japan. (4) The detected relict plants in limestone area are Buxus microphylla var. Japonica, Chysanthemum Zawadskii and Rhamnus Yoshinoi. (5) Taxonomical revisions were done for Wpimedium of Japan, and Veratrum Sect. Fuscoveratrum of Japan.

    The present paper deals wits developmental processes of female and male reproductive organs of both Helminthocladis australis HARVEY and H. macrocephara YAMADA which all grow in Japan. In H. australis, the carpogonium divides itself by oblique longitudinal planes, usually into four cells after its fertilization. The method of ceel division is just the same as that observed in H. Calvadosii by KYLIN (1930). Sterile filaments arise, after fertilization, from the lower parts of those cortical cells just above the supporting cell of a carpogonial branch and the sterile filaments grow to become longer and longer and embrace a carpogonial blanch usually from both sides of it. Thus a carpogonial banch becomes to be surrounded by them completely. The sterile filament is sometimes septated into two or three cells, but it never branches as usually seen in Helminthora divaricate (KYLIN 1928). In H. macrocephara there are two types concerning the first division of the carpogonium after its fertilization. Namely in the first type the carpogonium divides itself by oblique longitudinal planes as in H. australis or H. Calvadosii and in the second type the carpogonium divides it self nearly transversely into upper and lower cells and both of two cells thus formed divide themselves by oblique longitudinal planes respectively. The latter type in seen in H. Papenfussii as revealed by KYLIN(1938) and MARTIN (1939) and in H. densa as reported by LEVRING (1953). These two types of cell division are observed on one individual plant. In both H. australis and H. macrocephara, the component cells of a carpogonial branch do not fuse to become a fusion-cell as revealed in H. Papenfussii by MARTIN (1953).

    Cinnamomum micranthum HAY. and C. Kanahirai HAY. in Formosa are vicarious species and contain different kinds of the constituents of essential oils which discriminate the both species in each other. The characteristic constituents of C. micranthum are decyl aldehyde and pentadecyl aldehyde, while that of C. Kanahirai is terpinenol-(4). C. Kanahirai HAY. was thus confirmed not to be a synonym of C. micranthum Hay.

    Besides from the constituents of essential oils, Cunninghamia lanceolata HOOK. var. Konishii (HAY.) FUJITA can be verified by the constitutional relationships of bis-flavonoid compounds in the leaves.
