Information
“産地 浦賀水道 次郎左衛門場 120尋, エナ掛け, 青山○○ [illegible], 明治33年8月17日採集 原, 森脇”.

Remarks Colony: two colonies.
The meaning of “エナ掛け”is “Ena-line”. This is a line from Fujiyama Mountain (see Remarks for UMUTZ-Cnid-A-96) in the direction of Ena in the southeastern part of the Miura Peninsula. It seems that the collecting point lies south of the Miura Peninsula, although I could not confirm the precise location of “Jirozaemonba 次郎左衛門場”. The anthocodial formula of these specimens was not determined in this study.
