A new species of Symplocarpus from northem N agano of central J apan, S. nabekuraensis, is described. This species has reniformed leaf blade similar to S. foetidus V紅 .latissimus, but its leaf blades and spathes are much smaller. Its size and form of spathes are similar to S. nipponicus, but their leaf forms differ from each other. Phenology of S. nabekuraensis differs from the above two species. Flowers mature after development of leaf blade in early summer, fruits mature in the same summer, and leaves wither in autumn.
Key words: Araceae, central Japan, northem Nagano, Symplocarpus nabekuraensis.
Generally two or three species紅 erecog-
nized in Symplocarpus from eastem Asia and
North America (Ohwi 1978, Ohashi 1982) and two species in Japan, S. foetidus Nutt. var. latissimus (Makino) H.Hara (= s. renifolius Schott ex Miq.) and S. nipponicus Makino. In June of 1987, one of the authors, Ryuichi Watanabe, found plants of Symplocarpus from Mt. N abekura of Iiyama City locating at the northem N agano Pref.,
which were different from S. foetidus v訂.
latissimus and S. nipponicus in several char-
acters.
They have reniform leaf blades similar to
those of S. foetidus, but their leaves includ-
ing petioles 30 to 70 cm long, and are nearly half or a little longer than half of those of S.
foetidus. Their spadices are very similar to those of S. nipponicus, small and approxi-
mately 10 cm long including spathes. More
conspicuous characteristic of the Mt. Nabekura plants is observed in their phenology and morphology of inflorescence,
that is, their leaves and spadices emerge from ground simultaneously, flowers mature after unfolding of leaves, and the whole of
their spathes紅 eabove the ground, as they have relatively long peduncles. On the other hand, spadices of S. foetidus emerge before leaves, and spadices of S. nipponicus appe訂
after development of leaves. In addition,
allozyme patterns among the three differ definitely (Inoue unpublished). Thus, we
concluded that the plants of Mt. N abekura to
be a new species, Symplocarpus nabekura-
ensis. The diagostic characters among the
above three species are listed in Table 1.
Mt. Nabekura and the surrounding areas
are heavily snowy regions. The紅eas訂e
dominated with deciduous broad-leaved for-est such as F agus crenata and Quecus
crispula, and are known as huge trees of Fagus crenaωgrow. Although S. nipponicus
grows in a foot of Mt. Nabekura, there are no reports that S. foetidus grows nearby. Several localities of S. nabekuraensis have been dis-

covered surrounding Mt. N abekura until now; tens to hundreds individuals have been found in each locality. This species is con-
sidered to be adaptive to or relic to heavy snow environment, and may be found in similar habitats.
