Two New Species from Hokkaido and Honshu Yuichi Kadota Department of Botany, National Museum of Nature and Science, 4–1–1 Amakubo, Tsukuba, 305–0005 Japan E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Cirsium ito-kojianum is described from eastern Hokkaido and is distinguished from C. kamtschaticum by having well branched stem with divaricate, elongated branches, (8–)9–10-seri- ate involucral phyllaries, longer florets, thicker peduncles and ribbed achenes; from C. boreale by well branched stem with divaricate, elongated branches, thicker peduncles, pinnatilobate, middle cauline leaves, vestigial glandular bodies and longer, outer involucral phyllaries. Cirsium yoshidae is described from Mie Pref., Honshu and is clearly distinguished from C. grandirosuliferum by having stem branched below the middle of stem with elongated branches, 10–11-seriate involucral phyllaries, several subtending leaves, longer florets 18–20 mm long, narrowly ovate and ascending to recurved involucral phyllaries and oblanceolate to lanceolate but almost vestigial glandular bodies.
