Rohdea japonica, Roth. Root a long nearly cylindric root- stock with fleshy fibers: lvs. typically green, 9-12 in a rosette, erect, oblanceolate: berry about the size of a small olive, with a red pulp. B.M. 898 (as Orontium japonicum). Gn. 30, p. 541.—The following varieties, which differ in shape and color of the lvs., have been offered by Dutch bulb-growers: Vars. aureo-striata, falcata, latimaculata, macrophylla, marginata minor, pygmaea, zebrina.—This plant known as Omoto or Mannensei is a favorite among the Japanese, and fine specimens often bring as much as $500, even when only a few inches high. The seven standard varieties of Japan are Hinomoto, Nagashima, Kyuanji, Shikami, Daimyosei, Jindai, and Akitsushima. Retired persons of means often spend their declining years in the culture of this interesting plant, of which hundreds of named varieties are known to Japanese fanciers. A number of very beautiful books have been written on this plant, and it has an extensive literature. This plant is well known in China and was adopted by the Manchus as their national flower. L. H.
