Information
“Bishamon-gake, Kimuraippai, 80 hiro, 1913 VII 21, Coll. H. Matsumoto, H. Chiba”.

Remarks Colony: one colony.
Probably a young colony. The meaning of “Bishamon-gake” is probably Bishamon-line, which is probably a line extending from Fujiyama Mountain (see Remarks for UMUTZ-Cnid-A-96) in the direction of Bishamon Bay located in the southern part of Miura city, Kanagawa Prefecture. I could not confirem the location of “Kimuraippai”.
